Looks nice. Any (dis)advantages to having the BOV attached to the plenum instead of the piping ?

Paid about $450 for both shipped. Just do an internet search you can find them for around $200 each and the flanges are about $30 more.

Ebay, you can find used ones from 150 on up. Just stay away from the ones located in Japan, don't want to pay shipping from there

Ebay is the best bet for sure, thats where I got my HKS originally, but, I decided to go with an ATI race ready after doing some research, ATI's go for $400 new, but you can find them for around $200 all over ebay

The SSQ's don't flow very well, he would probably be getting surge with only one.
