I am new to turbos, so correct me if Im wrong. Am I right in thinking that this BOV is venting directly into the atmosphere? If thats the case, my next question is if it is possible to have that BOV vent back into the engine? The black tube there with the white bottle cap jammed into it is, i think, the tube that sends the vented air back into the engine. While the whooosh sound is awfully nice, i would like my car to idle normally for a change. Can I keep that one and reroute the air back into the engine; or is there a BOV that you guys recommend that sounds good AND vents back into the engine? Or is going back to the stock BOV the best option here?

You are correct in thinking that you are venting to the atmosphere. You are also correct in thinking that the black tube with the white cap in it is where the bov needs to be connected to.

I'm not sure which bov that is, but I'm sure you can find a way to rig it back up so that it's recirculating.

That is correct.

You can keep this bov and recirculate it. Basically, any way you can find to get the air back into the intake will work. It may take some "rigging" but try to find a "u" shaped pipe to connect the bov and the intake.
 
All you need to do is get the greddy rs adapter, turn the bov around on the flange and put the adapter on the bov and connect the hose.
