The control tube on the HKS is smaller than the factory vaccuum hose. HKS thought of this by including an adapter they call a "air filter" I guess I have to get a short smaller hose to go from the adapter to the HKS BOV.
I was messing with space there its really tight! Oh an I'm not welding it I bought a flange that bolt's right into the coupler.

I prefer to weld it, besides preventing leaks and IMO looks better, it will also give me more room since it will be basically right on the pipe, We have diffrent size hoses so that shouldn't be an issue. But yes it the vacuum (sp?) hose connects to the "air filter" then that connects to the hose. Ill post pictures later if i get a chance.

I dont have it anymore, that kit is bye bye 
The HKS was a really nice sounding BOV, I dont really know if the performance of it is really as bad as some people think, most people that dont like it, HATE it lol. With a passion, here are some vids of it, and the one I love so much, pic included.

My track video is the only one i found of my ride, but the supra blows off just like it, that vid is the reason lots of people have the HKS haha. I have an in car vid floating on the site, Ill try to find later. BTW, Nitrouz actually had this HKS welded to the pipe on the kit I had, I just stuck my JWT Popcharger stick on it

Everyone who owns an HKS has the flutter. Its the low boost valve working properly. Or are they all defective.
I'll take some videos once i get it on. I also have the PURPLE insert which is suppose to be a little quiite and more of a WOOSH sound.

Edit: Actually it did at low rpms / low boost. My brain was locked on 7k full boost conditions for some reason. But I did some research on it before I got my first SSQV, and I believe I read somewhere that at low boost, it does not damage the turbo, as it's significantly less load than when you're going full boost.
I'm just a ricer...I like the sound.
