turboXs bov rfl ?'s

I did a search but was unable to find out answers to my ?'s
I am getting the turbo Xs rfl bov for xmas and was wondering what is required as far as installation, I am getting the adapter plate as well, but what do you do with the hose that is left from the factory bov? the one used for the return...
secondly, does the BOV cause any cels? or any strange idling conditions? any other info you may have on this product will be greatly appreciated...
TIA

no special tools needed

there is a plug included that is used to block off the bypass hose

you may notice a slight stumble in low rpm acceleration

any other questions let me know

I have one also. No CEL and install time is honestly about 10 minutes. VERY EASY!! The sound is like no other. I've scared many people walking on the street . You'll love it. I have the blitz before and you could barely hear it. I was thinking of trying the HKS though, just cause I want to know how it sounds. Just my 2 cents.

i read stories (before the board crashed) that just this mod made some cars run richer/leaner. what's the story behind that and is it true? this may be one of my first mods...

does any aftermarket BOV make a car run rich in between shifts? yea i guess running rich in between shifts can't be very bad; it only happens for a split second. and yea i'm used to a super loud BOV, i had a loud one on my turbo civic.
