Installed yesterday... Nearly perfect fit and it sounds sick. I'm gonna try to get some pics up later today.

Plumbed back into the intake?

No, its venting to the atmosphere. The great thing about the Type S is that you can adjust it to be closed at idle, so I don't stall everywhere. I can't recirculate it anyway because the nipple on my elbow broke off a while ago.

Hopefully it works for you. Venting to atmosphere always got me bogging down while pulling out of shifts at low to moderate speeds.

I definately want to see pics of this one... I have the same BOV. The only adjustment I see on it is hard->soft, which as I understood before needed to be adjusted to properly spit off the amount of boost you are currently running without compressor surge/flutter. What do you speak of when you say it can be adjusted to be closed at idle? I thought it was always closed at idle...

Turn it all the way to soft, then with the car running turn the adjuster towards hard and feel the air coming out of it. Turn it toward hard until there is no air coming out of it at idle. There's a point about halfway that will still give you the sound and a good idle.

Oh OK, I didn't realize that adjustment actually worked that way. What did you do with the recirculation hose that you are no longer using - just cap it off?

Actually that broke off a while ago on mine, but you can just cap it off.

Umm... update. No matter how soft or hard I adjusted the BOV, I never felt any air coming out of the relief valve. Additionally, no idle problems at any adjustment level - ever. Car just runs great. What kind of problems is an atmospheric BOV supposed to cause again...?

It just works. And damn, does it sound good.
