Need help with intake installation

I just got Apex'i Power Intakes with hard pipes and have problems installing it. I connected the air pump and secondary turbo hose to the lower intake and intake manifold and Y-pipe hoses to upper intake. Everything fits except for the Y-pipe hose with the blow-off-valve (I think it is) - I don't have space to squeeze it inthere. Should I try different connection ? I tried connecting Y-pipe hose to the lower intake, but then the upper intake sits too high to close the hood.


Here are the pics:



Another one:




Please help ! Thanks!

Yeah just leave that part off. All you're doing is venting the BOV won't hurt the car. Plus it sounds cool. I did it on mine.

You can get one of those little rubber door stoppers and put it over that opening on the intake.

Leave the brown valve vented to the atmosphere.

It wont hurt your car at all dont know how it sounds thinking of doing it to mine. You can also cut those down to make it fit if you want. Thats what I did with mine. I have the trust and had to cut all the hoses to make it fit better. Its up to you but it will work either way.
