It should work well.

Just mount it on a flange, and connect the vac line. I am not sure what they are set to though, that is the important part.

The BOV? They blow somewhere around -30mm Hg.. < -1 psi or so. I mounted mine on a charge pipe pretty about a foot away from the turbine.

It's pretty discreet (quiet) actually, and hides really well for those of us who live in places where dumping boost to the atmosphere is an environmental offence.

BTW: check this link for more info on that BOV: http://www.supras.nl/view.php?page=modsSaabBOV.htm

I live in Ontario. It hasn't really been a problem for the turbo crowd here, but the environment enforcement cops occasionally nail people on it. cam breathers, dump tubes, open air WG's and BOV's, etc. = $300 and no chance in hell in court. i heard it's also the case in other provinces and some states.

Yeah I could see the open WG and dumps, but a BOV is just the air from the outside already. I could see if you messed with the emissions equipment, but a BOV shouldn't do that.
