yes but you will need to plug the hole on the TID and you will need a one way check valve so the bov doesnt suck in air

i have seen people get away with it on 2nd gens but it wouldn't work on mine, resulted in a really rough idle. i would say you could try it and see but it may not work if you have a good supply of vacuum to the BOV(which there is supposed to be...).
