a normal bov wont work. get a forge bov. its just an adapter plate that spaces out the electronic diverter valve. similar to the mopar bov for the srt 4.

nah man....it's too easy to have the dealer do it. takes like 15-20 minutes. if you buy it, it comes with instruction and you also have the DIY on here. you dont need the extension all you need is a small 1/4 inch ratchet a 3 in. extension for the socket and the 4mm allen tip. the only thing that will give you trouble is the damn electric connection it's pretty easy, with a flat blade SD just slide it in the tiny little open space that it clips on. I got pissed after the 10 minutes i spent trying to ease it off.....but then it just clips right off. there is plenty of room down there for a small ratchet. I burned a little spot on my arm from the damn Oil pan so let the car cool off or just do it before you drive it.

well i would say it takes about that short amount of time if you have the car lifted high
for me took an hour cause i barely had any room underneathe, its better to have a ramp than jacks and supports


Yeah, the reason it was easy for me was i used to work at a lube center. just jumped in the pit and got to work
