    Very easy in general. Not sure about on a 300z, shouldn't be hard.

    Edit: Maybe a Z is hard. But on a 1.8T it is incredibly easy. I would never do it, but it's easy.

    thats because we have a bunch of hoses instead of hard pipes.

    Well that's not the reason. It's because the BOV can just mount to the charge pipe with a flange. Granted if you want your bov somewhere else the hoses are useful.

    typical bov install? you will have to weld the flange on. unless you buy a hotpipe that already has it welded on.

    the hks ssqv at nopi comes with the flange already welded on the hotpipe.. so welding wont be a problem. i think i just need to take off the front bumper and install it.. it seems like its going to be difficult because everything is so compact in the front
