Though BDC mentions it in his writeup, I'd like to stress that this setup is about 4/10ths of optimal. I used a big (1.5") blue plumbing check valve, and it still surges at very high boost. My buddy followed BDC's directions exactly (3/4" swing valve, etc) and it flutters pretty bad.
The moral is to get the biggest check valve that you can.

Actually its very easy. Just go to the hardware store, and pickup a one-way airvalve (relief valve) with a very low threshold (be careful this is important), and -if you want- a silencer, in order to reduce the noise.
Then all you have to do is find a way to block off the hole for the BOV in the intake elbow (if you havent made already the TID mod). Disconnect the BOV from the intake TID, find a small plastic hose that can fit the output of the BOV, and connect the one-way valve (of course with the valve's direction "pointing" outwards from the BOV). Thats it!!!! If you want screw on the silencer to reduce the noise....

A nice DIY mod that actually improves performance quite a bit....and costs almost nothing

i have a sard bov that vents to the atmosphere. i'm wondering though, is there anything that needs to be done if i were to install it on a turbo II? when i had my dsm, you'd have to run a vpc or something to keep it running rich inbetween shifts (the metered ait by the mas was bled off otherwise and the extra fuel would be there) to keep from stalling sometimes. or could i just throw it on there and it be okay? just wondering......
