its as simple as pie. can you see your original BOV?
have you got a FMIC or TMIC? (front mount intercooler or top mount intercooler)

cheers

haha ya thats not a good idea.
as far as the BOV goes ya it should be a straight swap. before you start taking everything off just make sure that the fitting kit you have looks like it will fit.
good luck fella

well got the dump valve on, i know many dont like them but im enjoying it.

My past turbo cars with dump valves just went psssshhhhht no matter when you eased of the gas but the scooby is much different lol

2-4k revs its like a chatter noise
4-6k is a loud pssshhhhhtttt
6-8.5k is a high pitched chirp

Just thought i would post incase any one cares lol
