I texted Rick some pics, hoping he would post them. But I guess he's slacking. Lol

FYI
Just talked to Darin at Race Part Soultion ( Percision WG and BOV ) about the v band that Rick ordered me for the BOV and I should have it Thursday. He said for my truck with 17 inches of vac at idle I should cut the stiff spring in half so the valve opens any time it has any positive pressure and I let off the throttle. He has a smiliar build and said he had to do that because when he just eased into the throttle to anything around 5 psi, the bov didn't open. It would only open when he got up to ~7 psi. He cut it and re installed and now it opens with any positive pressure. Trucks like ours have ~17 inches of vacuum and dont need a stiff spring. Cars with ~23 at idle would use the stiff spring. The BOV comes with a weak spring too but he said that is for supercharged motors and motors that have big cams with low vacuum.
i'm gonna run it as is for now, to see if it opens. If not ill toss the weak spring it and test, then cut the stiff one down 3/4 and try it again, then if need be cut it another 1/4. Trial and error

as far as a WG dump... what do you guys think of this? Mine is a 49mm, this should work fine and bolt right up right?
