Ok the first problem is eBay. Can you please specify the link to what one you got? Im 99% sure it was a knock off. Or just tell me how much you paid for it.
You need a flange. Try looking for a bolt on HKS BOV flange and you should be fine.

i paid like $82.00
Yup that has knock off writen all over for it. Usually for the BOV and flange your looking at about $250. So that definetly isnt right.

You can scam some of the local honda boys. Hell, thats what i did.
"Hey guys i just got this great BOV for my car... but i bought 2 and i only need one. Any of you guys want it? Im going to charge you what i paid for it... minus the shipping.. my loss is your gain (yeah right)."
BAUAHAHAHAHAAHHAHA..... im such an ass.

that pisses me off F*** EBAY, anyone heard of a BOV called TEAL (pronounced tile) i went to an import shop to look for a GOOD BOV and they say it's been pretty popular, i think i'm going to get a GREDDY though the only thing is the people at the shop tell me im going to need to buy new piping to fit the GREDDY, do i really need to go that far or are they trying to scam me...by the way new piping and BOV = $500.

Tial? By the way... you cant recirculate it... so its out of the question.
No you dont need new piping. Unless you have a FMIC.
1) The greddy comes as a vented BOV. You will have to buy the recirc kit. One place you can get them from is
www.slowboyracing.com 2) if you are running the stock upper intercooler pipe then you do not need to replace it. You can simply buy a bolt on flange from ebay or any decent performance shop.. and bolt it on with a ring clip.. and done. (then install the recirculation kit and hook up the hose)
3) If you dont have the stock UICP and you have a front mount intercooler with the hard piping... you will need to contact the company you bought the intercooler kit from and purchase a new upper intercooler pipe with the Greddy flange welded on.

ultimate rip off. all you need is the flange for the bov and the bov itself thats it. Here is what the complete kit would cost, and you can easily install this yourself
Greddy Type RS
