I'm going to preface this post by saying this is a bad idea but if you wanna do it this is how:

It replaces the diverter valve on the charge pipe coming out of your turbo. You're also going to need a plug to block off the opening on the turbo inlet pipe where the DV recirculated back into the TIP. Something like this:

Plug, 1" w/ Retaining Nipple - 034 MOTORSPORT

this thread taken directly from the FAQ sticky will have all the info and pics you need:

Just so you know its makes your car run rich not lean. It vents air to the atmosphere that was already accounted for by the ecu. Therefore the ecu dumps that much gas to match up with the air that should be there but isnt
