Differences between kits and universal?

What the difference between buying, say, an HKS BOV kit for an rx7, and buying an HKS BOV universal kit and flange specific to an rx7? Does the Kit come with a swappable pipe with already-welded flange on it? or what?

BOV "kits" specific to your car come with an adapter pipe that makes everything a drop-in install.&nbsp Universal BOV's usually implies you'll just get the BOV itself - you'll need the mount flange to weld somewhere onto the intake system.

So what'll it run me to have the flange welded onto my stock pipe? I'd do it myself, but as I have ZERO welding skills the last time I checked...

Talking ....

by the kit from rx7store.net. its 289. and it drops right in. Ill spend the extra money to save some time and it looks a lot better.

However, there is no need to upgrade the bov unless you are running more boost 10 psi > or something wrong with the stock one. its a waste of money.

Im running 10psi and my stock bov was leaking causing a rough idle. Thats why I bought the hks ss. Its the best with the dual chamber design.
