Have you already picked out a BOV ? Are you planning on removing the compressor bypass valve on the turbo ? (you should).

Installing the BOV is going to depend on which one you go with and where you want it installed. If you want it on your IC piping, it will need to be welded on, and you probably have to call a shop to do that for you.

I went with a Samco hose and a simple BOV set up since I was replacing my hoses anyway. Here is a pic of the results. There is no need for a write up on this, you just have two clamps to remove. Just be careful with the switches and connections for the radiator fan.

The small blue hose going from the top of the BOV to the vacuum tree is a must, it will activate the BOV.

Yeah if you're totally stock, the Samco hose/bov is the easiest way to do it becuase you don't really want to have some shop weld into your factory piping if you're planning on upgrading later on.

The other option would be to get a reverse intercooler piping kit from eurosport tuning, IPD, viva performance, etc.

I think viva's is the most expensive but integrates a bov into the system.

Personally though, a bov isn't going to do anything but make noise under the hood unless you're planning a FMIC and turbo upgrade. The factory wastegate on the turbo is plenty adequate to handle business.

money saved on that bov could go towards something that would actually make your car faster.
