Why does the motor have the stock By-pass valve and a HKS bov on the intake??? - Not trying to be funny or sarcastic, this is a genuine question, i was hoping someone could answer for me. thanks!

That's a picture of the 'WRC' version of the ST205 motor. The BOV near the intercooler is not active from the factory and is only present for homologation purposes in WRC...

Oh i see now. so if its not active, why not put the hks on there instead? i thought bov needed to go on the charged pipes, not on the intake pipe? Just wanted to make sure.



thanks for the response
