Greddy is bolt on.

You need to read more about turbo kits and what all goes into it before you do anything considering your knowledge of the mechanics of a BOV.

You can buy one of those fake BOV noisemakers on ebay.

Greddy is a complete bolt on. Installed mine myself in 10 hours with no modifications to anything.

The blow-off valve will not function without some type of forced induction.
