Default HKS Atmospheric BOV transformed into Recirculating BOV?

I saw this car on the internet, and I was wondering, did this guy take an Atmospheric BOV and turn it into a recirculating one? Based on the pictures thats what it looked like to me. Would this work. I have an HKS Atmospheric BOV and I have a MAF sensor (not a good combination) So to keep my car from stalling out while decelerating, i was thinking of giving this a shot, assuming this would work, and thats whats going on here. If so, where does the air recirculate to? On a side note, i was reading in a magazine that a company is making a BOV that can do both, and you can adjust to change how much of each you want (example: 60% Atmo 40% Recirc or 90% recirc 10% Atmo). Anyway let me know what you think!

i didnt know if maybe that part of the housing would actually hold the air or if only the diaphram was designed to make a tight seal

he didn't make it recirculated, hks sells a part that goes where that tri-fin piece is. it leaves an xtra piece of pipe to allow recirculating. check ebay... there everywhere

awesome, thanks for clearing that up for me, i think i'll have to kit up ebay for that part, because stalling out after smashing the gas kind of leaves me looking like a dipshit... more so than usual

I found the kit on the HKS website:

http://www.hksusa.com/products/?id=799

but, I couldnt find it, or a knock off on ebay, anyone else have a good place to look, or maybe i'm just no typing the right thing into the search bars


****EDIT****

I found just the insert piece for 12 bucks on the HKS site, dont think its going to get any cheaper than that, but feel free to prove me wrong:
