    your bov won't do anything without the vac hose hooked up.

    It would be best to get another piece of hose, and stuff it into the bigger one. As long as it's not a loose fit, it won't be a leak either. Mine has a reducer in it, as it should.

    It should have a reducer to correct the size difference.

    I get a pop at partial throttle with my stock bpv and a full catless exhaust. I'm interested in trying the ssqv or the aps twin vent and some form of the 50/50 valves. Someone pm me if they got one for sale.
