Default Vortech BOV help

Just ordered an APS BOV, I have a rev-up vortech kit and was wondering do I need to weld a flange on in order to use this BOV or does it just replace one there? thank you!

If the flange is the same . You're good to go , if not you will need to cut off the old flange and weld a new one on .

APS valve is a dual port valve also isnt it? Makes no sense why you got that one.

I hear an HKS is your best bet. Not sure though cause I'm not educated in this field.
