Installing BOV

[supra_rulz]

ok, so i know SOMEONE has asked this question before but when i looked it up i didnt find any thread that was really specific to that. just one thread that touched on it but then talked about something else. i'm guessing its not that hard, just remove the black plastic hose and put the BOV thats on the flange where the hose used to go. but my question is if i should resurculate the air because of the MAF and which vacume hose goes where.
if threre's a thread for this, please just give me the link.

You've pretty much got it all right. You have a KVAFM (AFM for short) not a MAF though... they are quite different types of device. The vacuum line merely needs to a vacuum reference AFTER the throttle plate. Tapping the vacuum line running to the cruise control is a popular choice, but there's no reason not to use the same vac line as the stock valve used.

Yes, recirculating is preferred. Not doing so can cause excessive richness when the valve opens and for some seriously irritating stalling and loss of power when trying to lean back in on the gas. Not everyone has a problem and I suspect it's largely due to the effectiveness of the valve to purge and do so quickly and the amount of boost, etc.

ok, so i just read the difference between the MAF and the KVAMF. i guess we have the little bit older model. lol

anyways, so when installing the new BOV does the old one need to be removed? or can it just stay there as a secondary? and i really like the whosh sound that it makes, but if its going to mess up my car or significantly decrease throttle response, than i'm willing to do the recirculating. how difficult is that? and will the whosh noise basically be gone?

as of right now you have a bpv.. a recirculating bov. I heard about doing something in succession but don't have info on the subject. Don't even know if its possible..

yeah, i was talking about the succession thing too. i think i read about it somewhere? but not too sure. would it be redundant?

well w/o reading up on it... sounds like it, yes.

Please do not take exception to this request, because it is not specific to just your questions and answers, and is not directed at you.... BUT!
Forum all over the internet would be so much more informative in general if the participants would use full word terminology rather that anachronisms or abbreviations. I realize that cryptic writing has become the internet standard, but it sure limits the sharing of knowledge.

...i'm not trying to be mean rude or crude, but this fourm in particular hasnt used hard abbreviations and in particular this is a research-type topic. meaning i'm seeking information, and people are trying to help me. so if your not willing to go google a few terms that you dont know or look at the fourm that explains common abbreviations i think your in the wrong place.

Ok, that's enough of that, There's a thread about this in the off-topic section. If anyone feels the need to discuss it further, please do so there.... and please keep it civil.

hey cre, now back on topic..
i just read on another page that having two pressure release systems is actually a good thing because you can adjust the spring on the stock to handle small pressure and the (lets just say HKS because thats what i'm getting) hks one tighter for the heavier boost levels. is this true? or only for cars that boost ALOT? and i also read that you shouldnt mess with the spring rate of an HKS.
