is it attached to the IC or are you running a FMIC? If just attached to the stock IC which is a TMIC, just take a socket wrench and remove the bolts and then reinstall the stock one. Hope this helps if not ask a question or two and I'll get back to you.

you could probablly find some info on nasioc.com or other websites as well if you dont find anything on here.

Here are my steps:

If its attached to the stock IC.

Using a socket wrench remove the two bolts holding it on and then use needle nose pliers to remove the clamp that is holdin the recirc hose part of the bov. Then remove the bov. Afterwards, reinstall the old bov with the same process

yep we have all been there. Yea sorry I should have been more clear with the lingo. But anyways goodluck with the bov. I think the biggest hassle with it is the c clamp that is on the recirc. hose. Have fun with that one

enjoy your 02 as well. bugeyes FTW

for the recirculation hose i would reccomend getting a pair of long pliers that are offset to an angle at the end.

is it pair of pliers or set? or just pliers
