Default Forge SPLT-R

This may be a very dumb question but i just got a forge splt-r bov/dv. Where is the dv valve? i have to remove the panel on the bottom of the car to get to the valve am i right? and then which hose is the pressure in and out?

The dv is in front of the engine. Between the engine and radiator. It easier to swap it from the bottom, so your on the right track. It's hard to install it wrong. The vacuum line inlet will be facing the top and the horn of the dv will face the front bumper. That's the easiest way to put it. Get yourself some new clamps and a descent pair of wire cutters.

Yeah i was just looking around and i found it. one of the clamps doesnt want to budge though i think it is the discharge hose. what are the wire cutters needed for?

To cut wire/metal. Those hose clamps are one time use so just cut those when you stretch em out enough and then put in new ones

Installed! I love it already. It was hard to reach but i got the job done! now i cannot wait to install my aFe Cold Air Intake

One last question. since i just spent close to $500 on goodies and i dont want to buy a boost guage just yet, how many clicks should i have the valve at? i think i have it at like 22 right now since i am pretty sure the car was chipped by the previous owner.
