What should I do with my stock BOV?

You can pick up larger sized vacuum caps from the autoparts store that will cap off the 2 unused holes. Like others have indicated, since you're retaining the AFM and planning to remove the OEM BOV, then for improved driveability, a recirc' system is recommended.

how would I do this??
do you mean run a hose from one hole to the other??tell me if I'm wrong

thats what I did.The car dosent shut off or nothing.right now the cars isnt on the road but I take it for a spin every now and than right now I just have the two holes coverd with tape but I know isn't going to hold plus I hate half ass shit I just have it on there so the car dosent turn off.
I recently installed a Turbosmart bov on my friends otherwise stock car.
I thought we were going to have stalling issues but its running like a champ at stock boost levels!
I can see you running super rich and stalling if pushing more than stock boost though due to the extra amount of fuel being added. I say move to recirc if you are having stalling issues, but if the valve is properly adjusted you should be allright.
Although, the SSQV does sound a tad rice.

You can tap the 3000 pipe and run a short bolt in there with some teflon tape. Run a hose from the BOV outlet to the intake pipe to recirculate the bypassed air.

I'll be using two BOV's Ian, one will most likely be this one as I've been discussing what parts come with it from a vendor on and off the past couple of days. The other one will be a Hong Kong style BOV. The synapse synchronic WILL be recir'd as it already comes with the fitting for it. The other one may be also, but not fore sure yet...
This sucker doesn't use a diaphram like other pull type BOV's, it uses a piston-type relief, and it's a pull type just like the HKS's. I guess that's why it's so big on the back side. I'm curious as to what's in it. I may buy it, take it appart, and post pics. All the videos I've seen so far with it in action show it to be pretty quick (but then again, they were comparing it to a Tial, which is a slow Mofo). if all else fails, I've got a backup BOV running at the same time 
. I'm thinking I'll recir. both and either tee them back into the cooleeze pipe, or use two seperate ports for each one (which will be possible once I go speed density).
From what I gather, this BOV is more like the HKS racing type II than the regular SSQV as it uses one big piston instead of one small and one larger one. That's why I'm getting a Hong Kong, for the quick response on low boost.
Recirculating both should help a tad with spoolup after shifts.

Which one? The synchronic looks instantaneous. The Tial on the other hand...
That's the main reason I want it, that and it has one sigle big piston good for higher boost, and the Hong Kong SSQV will be for lighter boost, but it looks damn fast either way... I'm thinking I'm sold on this one...
