first i would like to say that when i had mine set up like a bov i had crappy idle, the gasmileage went from 28 mph to 19 mph, it would randomly stall and just generally ran like crap. so i decided to fix it
in order to make it a bypass valve (recirculated) you need the following:
sockets (you will need an 8 mm, a 10 and a 12mm)
ratchet/ you may need an extention. its always good to have one just in case
pliers
a T and a piece of hose that will connect into said T (th hose i used is actually the hose for a PCV from a 2nd gen) and the T i got from the person i bought my boost gauge off of.
a dsm bov with pipe
angle grinder if the pipe is the stock length
2 hose clamps with a range of 3/4" - 1 3/4" (costs about 2 dollars)
a rubber hose. i went to autozone and looked at some and found which one looked the best. It turned out being a radiator hose (part number: S-460)
the radiator hose
to begin use the angle grinder and cut the edges of the bov pipe. Watch yourself, sparks hurt heres what mine looked like when i was done: BOV of love also, i switched the bov around, takes a 12 mm
next you want to remove the stock bypass valve. there is 2 10mm bolts/clamps holding it onto the hose. Undo those,a nd remove the hose connected to the nipple on the bpv. Remove the bpv from the pipe connected to the turbo.
next you want to remove the rubber hose connecting to the top part of the turbo (its the hose you had to disconnect from the bpv) Next remove the small hose that the bottom of the bpv goes to. it looks like this once that is removed you should be looking at this area right here
now for the fun part! take this and stick into this hose . put a clamp onto the end of it,a nd reconnect it to where it originally went. make sure its tight! next you want to T the small hose that connected to the nipple of the stock bpv. when i finished it was like this and yes that is the end of a pen cap that i used to block it off with (incase you didnt know, this is me )
now put the dsm bov into the spot that the stock bpv was, connect the small hose to the nipple of hte bov, and connect our curved hose to the big part of the bov, and put a clamp on it.
when finished it should look like this:

MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS TIGHT loose hoses do NOT like 8+ psi
questions? feel free to PM or IM me
over all im happy that i got my gas mileage back, the sound is not as notacable as with the blow off valve set up, but its louder than stock, and its worth it to me.
28 mpg, no sputter, no stalling >>>>> the pssssht sound, 19ish mpg, sputtering and stalling
if you find typos/problems/confusions...let me know so i can edit the original post
