i have a HKS SSQV and a horsepowerfreaks intercooler kit so the blow off valve is mounted way up front. is there any way i can still recirculate it being that the hose from the blow off valve would be about 3ft to get to the accordian hose to recirc.?

it will be better than nothing, you other option is to vent, which might cause your car to stall or backfire. nothing "bad" would happen.
They like the noise and they don't want to buy a recirc fitting.
I don't agree with them, but that's the reasons.

basically it does make the same amount of noise, mkiii88supra.
I did it just because I wanted fireballs between shifts :icon_razz

No recirc is never as loud as atmosphere. You add extra distance for the air to travel, that mutes the sound. Plus you can't get the different sound altering effects like the SSQV, RFL and I think A'PEXi have.
Depends on your AFM. If you're running the stock KV style AFM then yes. If you're running a MAP, or MAFT tapped closer to the manifold then the BOV is then no.
If you want to avoid the temporary rich condition then yes. Any MAP won't have that problem, and all you have to do is mount the MAFT post-BOV and you won't have the condition. The reason is that the air being vented by the BOV has not been metered yet so the ECU won't even see it.

the reason people don't put the maf after the turbo is because pressure the turbo creates makes a lot of turbulence. with all this turbulence, the maf doesn't get near as good of a read from the air flow. when you vent to the atmosphere, the venting air was already metered by the afm, and when you vent the air, you lose that air that your engine was expecting to be in the combustion chamber, so you get a rich mixture which causes a rich mixture.... thats why i just went with the map ecu....
I think you are using some incorrect terminology.
This would be true if you were using an AFM. (Stock sensor)
This is not true if you use an MAF or MAP.
You need some extra electronics to run either a MAF or a MAP.
