2nd gen MR2 3s BOV and piping question Options

[Valo666]

So i went out 3s hunting today and i found a place that has a 2nd gen 3s out of an altrac and out of a MR2. Im thinkin of gettin the mr2 one cuz it comes with every thing and an uncut harness. The main thing i noticed about it was that since it doesnt have a top mount intercooler it has this pipe that goes across the block after the turbo. It has a lil flange right above the turbo. The guy at the shop said its a perfect place to put a BOV. So my question is, can i put a BOV there? and second question is, can i use this pipe with the all the other piping for the intercooler? or would i have to replace it??.

Best pics i could find of the pipe im talkin about...



Also for piping. I got quoted from JRP (yea im still dealin with them, dont ask why) for piping. At somepoint i got a list of piping sizes and bends and every thing. The pipes i got listed were 8 90 degree pipes, 1 45 degree and 1 180 degree. For the 90 degree pipes they want $40 a pop, and the 45s they want $68 a pop and they dont carry 180s. Is this 2 much for 2 inch aluminum pipes? Im thinkin of goin 2 an exhaut shop soon and asking them for pricing.

val,
I would suggest to get the mr2 engine coz you will need the mr2 tranny anyways in the long run
and the harness is uncut and it come w/ the ecu right?
you can use the 5s alternator bracket for the 3s
but dont forget that you need the all trac tranny shift linkage if you're going for the mr2 tranny.
good luck on you decision.
