Assuming you\'ve an unmodified FC, the \'BOV\' will most likely be a recirc valve.  It comes off the upright pipe that goes through a 90 degree turn into the intercooler (assuming this is stock).  The recirc valve itself sits really close to the intake manifold - just behid the air box, going into the back of the first 90 degree bend after the airbox and airflow meter (AFM).
 
The TPS is located undernearth the intercooler, behind the alternator - for series 5 cars there are 2, for series 4 cars just the one - they look like rectangular black/grey boxes with a plunger on the end that mates with the throttle assembly.

To change to an aftermarket bov you need to disconnect the recirc valve (basically unplug the thing that is connected in the middle of the T piece before the elbow to the...actually its easier for me to post up a picture (my BOV will be for sale very soon btw)

You might just be able to see it in this photo, follow the large blue pipe down and you will see the trumpet of my BOV just below the strut brace - word of warning, make sure that you plug the rubber hose that goes to the turbo after the air flow meter, if you don\'t the car won\'t idle and you will be confused as to why lol

thanks for the info guys my RX7 is the black RS pantera FC, got the whole greddy FMIC and i was tracing the pipe after the turbo and couldnt find anything lol, but i did see the one thats after the air flow meter.
about the throttle sensor, its the two black thing behind the alternator on mine? is it non adjustable?
