I just put a BOV on my car rather than BPV (mine vents to the atmosphere), and it was very easy.

btw, Tiny Avenger sells a complete BPV system.

The vacuum line can be from the vacuum tree or really anywhere off of the vacuum lines on the intake. I used the line that went to my Fuel Pressure Regulator, just added a "T" to it.

Then you need to plumb the valve into your intercooler, I did this w/ a diegrinder, JB Weld, 1" * 4" pipe, heater hose. Then you need the valve, such as the Bosch I used from a Saab 9000 turbo for $25 shipped (new not used).

Put this all together, add heater hose to the exit side of the Bosch, plumb it back into any source between the VAM and Turbo Inlet and you're golden.

I skipped this last paragraph as I didn't have a readily available source to plumb the air back into the system - and didn't really want to anyway.

Good luck to you!
