You can use any BOV you want, but you'll need to find a way to hook it up. Do some searching, some people can post pictures of their setups. I'd recommend a HKS SSQV, and I'd stay away from a turboXS type RFL unless you are running a bigger turbo

Greddy yes... Try the Greddy type RS. Supposed to be responsive for smaller turbos like ours.

You will need an adapter. The nipple on the stock crossover pipe is 3/4" OD so see if they make one for that size round hose

Tunerfixx makes great controllers. I run a Tunerfixx dual stage controller in my XR2, it works awesome. The single stage MBC would be a great choice

oh yea guy, b6t engines are fun to build and work on ... everything is small and manageable by yourself...and a turbo setup can be done so many ways it lets you personalize your own setup.
there easy. rather simple.  
there not a wrx where everything is in weird spots, its traditional turbo 4 banger.
bucket and lifter none of this honda or mitsubishi valvetrain b.s.
no variable valve ,valve overlap crap,
and a distributor, i can turn, and dial in timing... the b6 is a great motor design.
led to the bp didnt it?
