i put it on yesterday and when i was standing still everything was fine but when i drove with it the bov popped out of place. i put the c-clip thing in right i think. i saw that it has a lil notch on the flange, is it suppose to go in there? i dont see how im gonna get it in there though.

There's an o-ring then bov, then the ring. Make sure the ring is seated properly.

I had mine pop off too. Make sure you have to oring, I lost mine and had to get one from Ace Hardware.

I used a very small/thin pair of needle nose pliers to install my snap ring. The snap ring pliers I have are crappy

the c ring have to go into the groove. you might need to hammer it down so it will seat fully.

There are 4 allen screws you need to remove to remove the shield/ outer part of the BOV. The o-ring has to be in there as well. Make sure the c-ring is in there 100 percent. The allen screws can be reached from the front portion of the BOV. If you remove the wrong ones, the cover and the rubber piece will come off all together. You do not want to happen, make sure you pick the correct one ( every other)
