EVO 8 BOV mounting question
Alright so i got my evo 8 blow off valve and it does not come with a flange on it for mounting................in fact the bov is plastic, which is fine i guess. i mean, evos frun 18 lbs of boost all day long using this bov, so im assuming it will be ok, even though it is plastic.
Anyways, like i said, it doesnt have a flange. It did however come with the stock intake piping from the evo. it is a small piece, maybe about 12" long and 3" ID (about, not exact!).
i was wondering if it would be okay to mount the bov with that stock section from the evo. here are some pics so you know what im talking about:
heres the bov itself.

heres the intake piping from the evo without the bov connected:

Here it is with the bov installed on it:

And another:

And in this picture, it shows that the intake piping from the evo has 2 nipples on it to connect vaccum hoses to. I was wondering if i needed to connect anything to these in order for the bov or anything with the turbo setup work correctly. I was under the impression that the top nipple on the bov would be the only one used, but do i need to use these two other nipples, or just put come sealent or caulk or something in them?

i found the site and it didnt tell any info on the ID/OD of the part where the bov connects. it looks about the same and im sure it wont matter because it will be connected by a coupling. but this part looks basically the same as what i have, just with a MUCH cleaner look. I'll definately look into getting this. do you know if the one i have from the stock intake piping from the evo will work though, as long as i plug those nipples up with caulk, because i may not order that part, it looks pretty simple to make and i think i could prolly weld something up out of some 2.5" exhuast piping and however the other small pipe needs to be. it would be cheaper, but i wouldnt be able to get around to it for a while. so do you think the other from the evo would work for the time being?just use a piece like this with a hose and clamps.
