About to do Bosch BOV recirculation but...
From what I'm told, the Bosch BOV has a 1" inlet and outlet. So I'll replace my current eBay BOV with the Bosch one, and then connect the 1" heater hose, but how do I tap into the pipes after the MAF? Do you guys just drill a hole and then weld in a 1" bung? Because I don't have a welder or any welding skills and I'm not quite sure what to do. I'd like to order parts this week so I can complete this project this weekend.

I could look into that. I'd have to buy a tap then.
That'll be down the road. Right now I'm just trying to get by in college. How much is a MS and what kind should I look into getting? I can't tune it myself as I have no idea how, so I'd need to go somewhere and get it dyno tuned I'm assuming.

Cut a 1" long piece of 1" dia pipe. Take off pipe where you want it welded. Drill the correct size hole in the spot chosen. Align the 1" piece how you want it and shape the bottom of it so it fits good. Once it matches up good, take a bolt with a big washer, put it through the piece, then put it in the hole you drilled and fixed up, on the inside tighten it up with a screw so it stays in place. Walk up to your local exhaust shop. While they are welding ask how much it would cost to weld it around the little pipe there. A lot of the pops shops wont even charge you. It literally takes 20-30 seconds to weld it. Pop on the clamp and weld away.

Alright, my plan is to cut off a 1" piece of 1" ID pipe, shape it correctly, and then JB Weld it onto the pipe. I've been told that the JB Weld will be strong enough. If this doesn't work I'll have to go with plan B.
Thanks for all the help guys.

MS can be had for 400ish in the classifieds if you wait around. I can help you tune, since you're in WI. What part? We could meet up halfway and tune it up. I tuned mine on the road, and while I'm probably sacrificing a couple horses because of it, it's been running safely for a year.
