Get a recirculation kit and a GReddy flange and you should be good to go. It's a really easy 5 minute job, no need to have a shop do it.

Did you buy the complete kit for the 2G DSM? If so it will come with everything you need and it can be installed with basic hand tools.

You will need the adapter fitting that goes into your stock intercooler pipe and the bov flange bolts to it. And by all means do it yourself.

Thats the bov he ordered and i have now is it all their? and he said might need welding?

I would recommend getting a recirculation fitting unless you're running a gm maf or speed density.

I don't know if that flange will work on you're dsm.

That's also not a real GReddy type rs.

ya i know but it will do for free..... but do i need that recir. part and installation is easy?

 

[DSMxJB]

You don't absolutely need it. Without it your car may have stalling or stumbling problems. It won't run optimal between shifts. I occasionally run my HKS vented and my car drives the same but from everything I've read on the forum it's very frowned upon and not the right way to do it.

Unless you have a way to tune around it or run speed density then it needs to be recirculated.

Your car will run poorly with it dumping to atmosphere.

haha ok so for the extra $20 its well worth it. But what my buddy got all the equipment i need beside the one part? and do i need to weld it on or just screws and easy attachments?

 

[bradselph]

I believe it just screws in but don't quote me on that.

It's one screw on the flange, two on the recirculation hose, and one hose that hooks to the bov. It's very easy, I switched mine a couple times today just comparing sound between my stock one, hks vented and recirculated. I was bored and my car just passed smog so I was messing with them .

 

[gst98Tfast]

ok and the stock pipe which i adapt it to is all set up for it?

It should work as long as that "universal flange" that came with the bov fits.

ok but the link you had inserted before for the greddy recirc. fitting. Where would that go? would it take the place for the flange i am getting?

It replaced the gold piece on the front with the holes in it so that the recirculation hose can fit onto it.

ok cool thanks and do you know any videos which they show you how to install the bov or just look on youtube?

 

[DSMxJB]

Just look on youtube there should be some.

ok and your 2 censt that should i put this bov or sell it get like 10 bucks and buy a nicer one?

Personally, I would sell it and get a 1g BOV. I'm not a fan of the Greddy BOV, all of them, even the knock offs are terrible and leak. If you do happen to keep it, get spend the money and order an NGR diaphragm to use instead of the crap quality one in the knock off piece.

Even the Greddy diaphragm is bad. I went through 2 and the replacements started leaking days later. Not until I siliconed just about every connection on the inside of the BOV did it finally (for the most part) stop leaking air.

Who's going to adjust it for you pending you install it? If you really want one of the best ones out there, get a TiAL QR (it's recirculated) or the Turbosmart universal BOV.

I don't have any personal experience with off brand bov's but from everything I've read on here they are prone to leaking. The diaphragm inside is supposedly really low quality. It will probably work just fine under low boost applications and I would assume it's better than the stock 2g one but don't quote me on that. You got it for free, I say run it and if it works good awesome, if not it's not like you really lost anything and just throw the stocker back on.

 

[gst98Tfast]

ya but i been hearing all bad things reall and probably get a 1g everyone says... do you know or websites to get them cause i been looking and i dont see any except ebay and been used

 

[my dreamt dsm]

UUUhhhh! theres one in the classifieds RIGHT NOW!
And then go to dejon website and order the 1g gasket and flange to stock plastic pipe adapter for like 20-$27 bucks.
