no stock bov, msp's have a stock bpv. search for How to kill your turkey or just browse the how to: section and look for it. it is by far the most detailed how to on this forum imo. and you will be keeping your stock bpv and adding the bov. the how to has instructions with or without hardpipes also
 
yes you can. there are two routes you can take. apex (www.apexr1.com) makes a bracket/attachment for the greddy type rs (maybe type-s as well) bov that allows you to hook it up to the stock pipes with a hose, much like the stock bpv setup. if you want to recirculate the bov (and duplicate the stock setup), you'll need a recirculation attachment, which greddy makes.

if you want the hks ssqv, it's basically the same story. you'll need an adapter plate for the inlet that will allow you to run a hose to the inlet. and it'd be a good idea to make some kind of bracket to support the bov. hks also has a recirculation attachment for the ssqv. only downside is that you'll have to remove the triple fin insert so you'll lose that distinct hks scream.
 
appreciate all the input. i still have no idea what a recirculation attachment is. i guess i shall have to do some research in it. cant wait for the psst sound.
 
hks's or greddy's website will list a recirculation attachment for their bovs that will accept one. it's made so that you can attach a hose to the outlet of the bov to recirculate the air back into your intake, rather than it venting the air to the atmosphere. btw, just checking but you are aware that you'll end up with a turkey rather than the clean sound you're looking for.
