And what a bitch it was! Because I havn't got my volvo front mount plumbed in there yet, I just used the stock top mount. The kit came with 2 flanges, one steel and one aluminum. I used the aluminum one for this.

I took off the intercooler and immediately broke off one of the plastic pieces that a hose connects to from the intercooler. More on that later I flushed out the ic as long as it was off and got a lot of crud out of there. Next was to drill a 1.25" hole in the piping. I used the inlet pipe. Then I cleaned off all the burrs and roughed it up to get it ready for TIG welding. I also did the same for the flange. Then, I took the whole setup to a shop that I thought would do aluminum welding... It's getting close to 5 pm on friday. "Nope, we don't do that here. Hold on, I know a guy who'd do it... wait, he always leaves town at 1 on friday to fish. Nevermind. I know another guy, what's his name, oh ya, Phillips... What Phillips, hmmm..." Anyways, I couldn't find anyone to do it so I used the only other thing I could, JB Weld. JB Weld can fix anything. So, I prepped it with Acetone and gooped it up and let it set for a couple hours.

The only parts I had to buy were a 1/2" pipe plug to plug off the stock bov and one and a half feet of 4mm silicone hose.

I hooked the intercooler back up neglecting the piece that I broke off earlier. I also hooked the BOV up to the flange and tightened it down. I started it up and it wouldn't keep an idle. So I opened it up and crammed washer after washer into the BOV because that's what the instructions said. Still no idle. I checked the TID tract and found a hose that wasn't hooked up to it. I thought I'd solvd the problem. I started it up and it was better, but not idling yet. Then I finally pressed the broken piece where it's supposed to be and it idled! So I JB Welded it back together and now it works.

But it wouldn't blow off for half a ****. I took it apart again and took out all the washers and then loosened up the body as far as it would go and tighened the lock screw. Now it blows off loud as hell and my turbo spools just a little quicker. I like it. Good way to spend $180.

I just used the stock hose that feeds the stock BOV. The flange to the TurboXS BOV fit right into the end of the hose.
