Question BOV Install?

Just wondering how hard it is to install a BOV. would this be a good starter project for someone of my limited knowledge? probly goin with a GReddy typeS.(are they good?)comments?

is there any welding/cutting that needs to be done on the t2 to fit it? or is it as simple as me and a screwdriver.

thanks

Took me the better part of an hour and a tad. But I have a TurboXS RFL. I welded up a new 2" pipe to fit in the stock location, then welded on the steel adapter so the bov wouldn't be ghetto rigged.

This on my car with no emissions, no accessories, no bac, acv, etc...Was really quite easy.

If you are definitely going for a Greddy Type-S then let me know. I wrote up a install guide. It's in PDF format - i can email it to you or you can download it from me.

If you get the kit (bov + adapter pipe) and you have 0.000 clue, it'll take you about 2 hrs + prep work.

I put my TurboXS one in and it took me about 15-20 minutes i'd say.
