What to use for BOV return hose - 12/16/2006 7:30:19 PM

As you can see from the pic, I need a BOV return hose. Thing is the current setup is different than stock and I am unsure what type of hose to use that will fit in such a small spot and over the wide opening on the BOV.

Any suggestions?

Thx

Normally that "horn" is replaced with a straight tube fitting. I don't think there's anything that will fit over that flare.
Is that recirc opening, on the intake, sealed with something? It's hard to tell, but it looks like it is, but again, it's hard to tell.

I don't know about a Forge type.

That's a Forge type ^^ and I have their 1G DV and it doesn't look anything like his.
I would say that it looks like a knock off of a Megan Racing BOV. UNLESS, it says Megan Racing on it somewhere, lol.

Oh yeah, they do have a recirc'd version of this. You just have to find the recirc adapter.
