Looks kinda like the new full race manifold.

A single 3" actually isn't too loud. I have a duel setup that id rather loud, but found that capping one of the cans quiets it down a lot. I just pull the cap when I throw her down the track.
BOV has no effect on spool up as long as it's not venting while you are trying to build boost. Boost controllers can play a part, depending on design, but most don't do anything until you reach your desired boost level.

I was thinking the same thing about the BOV but I wasn't sure about the boost controller...

I've heard that as well, however when i took out my header I had a look at the exhaust ports and I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to smoothen the the ridges left by the factory casting process. Granted, it prolly won't make any huge increase in power, but a proper polish will aid flow, and consequently spool up.
Similarily, the stock intake plenum does its job well for NA, but if you're boosting you may want to consider soemthing like this:

but my question is, yea this might get you more power...but would it help with the spool up time? theoretically it should I'm assuming since it improves the air flow for better induction into the engine, but just wanted to ask to be sure.

I think the number one factor in spool time (besides the turbo sizing which is a given) is the manifold design. The whole spool process begins with the hot, fast moving air exiting the engine. The path it takes to the turbine is all important. A restrictive design will hinder your system performance, even if the turbo is sized properly. Look at the difference between the Lovefab systems and the Inline-Pro systems. Lovefab makes (by a long shot) the best mainstream turbo manifold on the market for the S2000. I've heard from a few owners with small to medium sized turbos (GT28-GT3076) that there is virtually no lag.

sorry to jack the thread but if hypertune makes the IM then how come you can buy theres already but FullRace says theres won't be ready till august? I will be ITBd and race stripped by then so I guess it doesn't really matter. wish it had come out last year though.
