I wouldn't recommend running that BOV, since they can sometimes stay open at idle and cause poor idling and drivability....but that's just my opinion :)

Others do run BOV's so it can be done.

Yes, you can remove the hose that goes to the stock bypass valve and plumb it to that.

It runs underneath the turbo outlet piping to the BPV and then to the turbo inlet elbow.
