Default new bov

im setting up my new bov and i have been working on my car for some time now and they sent me a hose with two t's not sure what the t's are for but they sent the part that goes in your uicp and a gasket and the bov bolts on to that but they sent a plug looking thing that is the same size as the part that goes into the uicp. so im just wondering if i need the plug thing. and the spring inside the bov is kind of hard to push up will this be ok. thanks for your help

It should be hard to push up, otherwise youll just leak boost. The plug thing your talking abut... is it hollow? Its prolly the flange.

Do you know if it came witha recirc kit? That could very well be part of that.

First off Im impressed that someone actually decided to remove a VTA to recirc. Most people try to do the opposite, for virtually no reason.
As per the T fitting: http://herpetology.com/dsm/bov.html

What kind of bov are we talking about?
That nipple that you're talking about is the vacuum source for the bov, it needs it to be able to open. That's the only one you need to make it operate normally. The second is for "fast response" blow off or something like that. The "Dodge Garage" mod that takes the 1G bov and copies that Greddy in Dusty's link. You don't need that, just the vacuum nipple that goes back to the intake manifold.
