Mounting BOV
Quick question...i just got a 1G bov and i need to know where i can get an adapter to mount it, i completely forgot about it. would i be able to find it at a local autoparts store or will i have to order it online?
oh, and it came with the metal pipe for "easy installation" how does that work?

you can make one for cheap.
Parts needed:
1 "fuel pump block-off" plate, its part #610-1188 at NAPA 6X6 square plumbing gasket (it’s a cut your own gasket thing) from Ace Hardware.
Directions:
Make a 1" hole in the middle of the fuel pump plate (doesn't have to be exact). I did this with a dremel (it took a little time). I used a round sand paper bit once I could fit it through. Make sure that you can fit your "hole enlarging device" in the hole before you go to the next step.
Now, take your fuel plate (with the hole in it) to any exhaust shop and have them weld a 1.5" long piece of 1.5" diameter piping to the side of the plate that would not sit flush to the ground -the sides of the plate bend to a 90 degree angle, have the bends on the same side of the plate as the pipe. They didn't charge me for it doing this, but if they do it shouldn't be much.
Once the pipe is welded on there, enlarge the hole to the size of the pipe.
Now put the 1G BOV on top of it. Look at where the bolts will go through to hold them together. Enlarge the bolt holes on the adapter to fit (if necessary).
To make the gasket, roughly cut the 6"X6" square to be bigger than the bottom of the BOV. With the BOV upside down, place the gasket material on top of it and lightly tap the gasket material with a hammer all over. This will leave an outline of the BOV in the gasket material. Cut it to fit. Remember to cut it to go around the little hole on the bottom of the BOV. Big the hole for the blown-off air should be tear shaped to accommodate it.
Bolt it all together with the gasket in the middle. It should fit easily in the car now. It might not go all the way down since the stock upper intercooler pipe has a stopper in it, but that fine. Just push it down till it’s tight (don't overly force it), screw the clamp tight, and hook up the BOV line and your ready to go.

if you are going to attach the bov to the stock 2g upper ic pipe really consider buying a new pipe first. you can find them for around $60 and they really do make a huge difference. imagine kinking a garden hose so the flow of water gets cut way down. thats just what the stock ic pipe looks like. the upper ic pipe made more of a difference for me than intake and exhaust combined.
