Get a Gen 1 DSM BOV.  Thats what I have.
Make sure you get the flange to go along with it.

I agree with nick, or get an Ebay equivalant.
the one on my old TSTE was of ebay, worked great, but wasn't loud enough for me...lol
plus it was mounted in a crappy spot, right before the IC. if/when you put one on your car,
do it on the charge pipe near the TB for best effect.

that's where I was thinking of putting it, I am just having a hard time finding one I like.

I just tried it out, it definately made the car faster!  Or maybe this is the first time I have redlined the new motor with the cam?  I dunno but the boost picks up fast between shifts!!  It is not that loud which I like.......it goes psssssssssssttttttttttt!  Glad I did it!

Ok I'll try and get a video today and take a picture of my setup.  You guys won't like where I put it, on the charge pipe after the turbo but in reality it does not matter where you put it since it is getting the vacumn signal from the intake manifold to open so upper pipe, lower pipe it is really up to you because it will vent at basically the same time:) 

Sorry for the rant.

Ya, I was trying to figure out in my head why in the hell it would matter where you put it, it seems like it would do its job anywhere in between the turbo and TB

Yea you want it closer to the turbo , the point is to keep the turbo from surging ( the awful fluttering sound you hear)

meltboy11

orly? ok, ya, I have seen some people with it on the lower pipe and it doesn't look too bad. I guess that makes sense to have it closer to the turbo.
