HKS SSQ BOV installation help!

I recently bought an hks ssq bov kit for my car and it didnt come w/ instructions and i have no idea how to install it. I already searched all the threads about this bov and i still couldnt figure it out. I know where the stock bov is and where everything is but i just don't see how the new hks bov would fit. Everyone keeps saying it just fits right in, in place of the stock bov but i just cant figure out how. Also is the bov suppose to have a metal pipe attached to it? Because i dont know how it fits. Here are some pics of the hks bov.


Help would be greatly appreciated. I searched for an hour looking for installation tips and i spent another hr trying to fit it in. Sorry if im being a newb right now.

Hmm it doesn't look like it's made for the FD's stock bov position, nor does it look like it'll mate to the Greddy elbow.

You might have to take the bov off the flange to make use of it.

Not suppose to have a pipe attached to it. It goes in the same place as the stocker, minus the hose continuing off the front of it to the airbox.

well the bov could be placed in two positions. one is at its stock location and the other is somewhere between the intercooler and the throttle body. It seems like the bov is already welded on a pipe that should fit somewhere between the throttle body and intercooler. If you want to install your bov in the stock location, you need to remove the bov from the pipe and buy an adaptor kit. i believe everything i said is correct, if not someone please correct me.

If you know what a BOV does than it should be no problem to understand where to put it.

imo.

That pipe doesnt look like it would mate in between the ic or the throttle body. To me it looks like they gave a pipe that would replace the rubber hose that connects the bov to the manifold and the stock air box but that also doesnt make sense cause its a metal pipe. Just get a greddy elbow with the correct flange and mount it on the elbow, case closed.

That pipe is for the greddy fmic it goes in between the greddy elbow and the lower intercooler pipe. I have mine setup in the exact same place heres a pic of my setup
If you want it in the stock loacation you have to get that flange that buzzer has posted above.
