Here's what I did for my Blitz BOV on S14.
1.) Hack off the filter that comes with the BOV.
2.) Use the remains as a flange to connect a hose to the BOV. I've heard that a flange to mount BOV to hot pipe will also work.
3.) My BOV is on the hotpipe. It points to the driver side fender. I connected the 90 degree rubber elbow that came with my Blitz FMIC to the BOV recirc flange. It points down.
4.) I bought a 2' peice of black plastic corrugated hose at the hardware store. This stuff is commonly used for boat bilge pumps or washing machine drains. It fits perfect. I just shoved it into my 90 degree elbow and have a leakproof interference fit W/O any clamps. I might glue it one day. It routes under the PS resivoir and intake pipe. The other end fits perfect over the stock coupler at my intake pipe. I used a clamp there.

I love cheap mods. I was worried about the plastic hose melting, but its held up for 1 year so far. It is likely that I will change this at some time when I get AL intake pipe, but I'm quite happy with it for now.
