Thats my screen name. I hope you got the wrx specific kit or you will need to have a flange made. Its easy, unbolt the old one and bolt the hks one.

When under deceleration, or upon shifting, a blow off valve will vent the built up boost pressure to the atmospheric air as the engine has no need to use the boost. Instead of having the boost go backwards through the system when the throttle blade is closed after acceleration, possibly fragmenting a compressor wheel, it is just vented. Hope this helps.
