First of all I would like to clarify I did not make the BOV, i got the impression some people thought I did, I got the BOV for $40 on EBAY and it was a steal, but as for the other parts I used a small peice of clear hose from the hardware store and a larger price of hose as seen on the pics they were $1.50 all up, the various hose clamps that can be seen were $5.50 and the metal adaptor that sits in my modified intercooler hosing cost me $10 from a local exhaust place. Its made out of offcuts and then sprayed black.
The whole thing took me about 2 hours.
And in answer to your question danish, yes even though my car is auto it still works very well.
I noticed it on the cruise on saturday when we were going through the twisty bits, when i backk off the accelerator the back pressure is released and as soon as I accelerate again it spools up a lot faster, so i have seen it is abeing worthwhile.

good luck if u think all gz20s came in gen 3 they came in all generations , u gtta find out which one urs is , if urs is a 88 model then maybe like mine its a gen 2 , running 9 psi - fit a boost gauge on and see , 7psi-gen1
9 psi - gen 2
11 psi gen 3
thats all stock boost readings , and its the easiset way to find out if u have boost gauge handy
otherwise have to looks foer injector and ecu connections , for their colour to determine
ttheres planty other ways ,

err...no i dont usually back off when going up a hill, becuase that would mean i would slow down, which doesnt help when climbing a hill, and no it doesnt splutter
