This. There is no need to install an aftermarket one on a stock FD, your money is much better spent on reliability mods such as an upgraded cooling system, fuel pump, and new hoses for the engine bay (they are likely brittle and leaky if they are the original hoses).

You first have to figure out what BOV you want to purchase. Some BOV's will come with a flange which you can use to connect to the stock BOV hose. Some of them won't have a flange for the stock hose and you'll need to mount it on a hard pipe. In the later case, you'll need hard IC piping to weld a flange onto and then mount the BOV; then after block off the stock location.
Basically, your best bet to not do a lot of work is pick a BOV which has some type of mounting kit specifically designed for the FD.

my blitz bov is one of the shiniest mods I have done
right next to my shiny airbox
and it makes a whoosh noise people can hear at stop lights
if you bought a cheap generic BOV off ebay you going to have to do some welding or rubber hose cutting.
most of the reputable compaines should come with a little pipe adapter to bolt right into the stock location if you buy it specifcally for an FD

I thought the crv was brown and the abv was black? There's been some questions regarding whether or not they work the same. But, if they do. Why are there two different parts?
My neat idea was moving the crv over by the airbox, instead of directly over the turbos. Hopefully this will ensure a long life for my crv.
