Gannon, Get a couple of mandrel bends from an exhaust shop to use for pipework then build the fitment around that, far easier than going fitment then pipework.

DO make sure it is a plumb back style BOV (stock RS or similar) otherwise you will get backfiring when you come off the throttle, as the ECU thinks heaps of air is still making it to the engine and will enrichen the mix accordingly.

Plumb a line from just after the cooler back to near the turbo inlet, then run the vacuum actuator from the manifold (after the throttle body).
