HKS SS BOV Questions, any help?
Just recieved my BOV off ebay. 2 questions I have
1- I believe this is off a WRX, can I use this flange and just weld it to my charge pipe?
2- In the second picture, there is supposed to be the vacuum source nipple there is nothing there. What can I do to tap it for vacuum? or am I screwed?

had a buddy who's nipple broke off and he just jb'd it back on. It hasn't broken off so I'm assuming it'd be okay, only thing is that if you run higher boost like really high, it might break off, but I think you'll be fine 
Other option is to find a really small fitting with a threaded side and a barbed side and use a tap and die set but it's a pretty small hole so I'd try the jb weld first and see how that holds up.
