Default DIVERTER VALVE INSTALL HELP

I was thinking of installing a forge diverter valve because i believe my stock one is starting to fail. It sometimes makes a honking noise when it blows off, not the usual pffft noise. Also i think that it tends to leak under extreme boost. I have a Giac chip, Bosch injectors and a Carbonio intake and I am pushing over 20lbs of boost and sometimes you can just tell the engine isn't quite getting all of that. Does anyone know how to install one and how hard is it for an avid DIY. Oh yeah, one more thing, where the hell is it located. I know it's somewhere to the passenger side of my car but I can't see it.

for a b5 it is under the car, you will have to remove your belly pan, and as you lay on your back it is just up and to the right, take the new one down and start looking

why didn't you change it when you got tuned?
