Buying a 98 GST whats wrong with this pic missing bov?

[Ace4g63]

So tomorrow i will be going to buy (maybe) a 98 GST will be my first dsm!!!
I asked the guy to send me pics of the engine bay and look alright i noticed right away that the battery wasn't there and i asked if it had been relocated to the trunk (he said yes). But thats not the problem after just browsing through the site and looking at people pics i noticed in the pic he sent me that there is something not connected near the MAF and on others pictures that is where the bov goes and is connected to the intake.(sorry if i got the parts name wrong)
any ways if you look at the pic near the fuse box you will see what im talking about.

Info about the car 98 gst which he said has a 6 bolt swap.
he sent me the vin which i might run later.

here is the link to see what upgrades it as. craigslist ad

Purple eclipse gst gas saver NEEDS TO GO ASAP!!! - $5000 (Waukesha)

i dont know if 6bolt have the bov located in another spot
(it says what type of bov in the craigs ad)

if anyone has any info that could help me it would be greatly appreciated

BTW, I traded my 02 camary for the current spyder that had no tuning software... Horrible move. Unless you plan on finding tuning equiptment on your ow.

I thought .040" over was maximum bore... That scares me. You'd need a new block if something ever happened to the block. i.e. timing belt snaps... Beware

on the venting to atmosphere... http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/fre...tions/113858-venting-your-bov-atmosphere.html

This will clear that issue up. And will save you from catching a lot of flak here.

What are the "little" issues the car has. Get a complete list of mods. Ask him where he had parts installed and of there are any receipts. That will tell you a lot if he had them installed or did it himself. Doing it yourself, you have no chioce but to learn, and you'll more than likely be more careful on doing a good job...

BTW, what are you goals for this DSM? Are you looking for a DD, cruiser, autox or what? Knowing that will help us that are more familiar to DSM's.

Sounds like the timing might be off a little. Ask him if he's messed with the biss screw at all to try and resolve idle issue. The issue is 99% more than likely is because he is vented instead of recirculating. She looks about 80% stock on motor. He did a crappy job on spoiler swap. Still can see original low rise spoiler hole.

I posted it above i am only looking to make it my daily driver for the time being.
maybe spend a year with the car before i start thinking about modding it any further.
I just need a new car to get to and from school

Soooo this basically turned into a "what car should I buy" thread, which isn't allowed in the tech forums.
