Wouldn't you BOV be aluminum. You got aluminum pipe from a muffler shop?

I would try to use a flange to your charge pipe.

get the matching flange in steel, weld it to a short section of pipe. Weld that to your charge pipes. Bolt the two flanges together.

this type of bov doesnt have a flange, it does come with another tube you put on the end to enxtend it.

this is my bov - http://www.turboxs.com/_images/BOV_Type_S_small.jpg

I don't know man, I would just say I wouldn't want my bov mount permanently to my charge pipe.

Would not still need a rubber hose from your outlet on your charge pipe to that style of bov.
