HKS BOV Install Instructions?

Does anyone have a pdf or some instructions they could scan regarding installing the HKS BOV on an R56? please send to me if you do!
I want to remove mine and I need to figure out where this vacuum line or whatever is hooked up to it. I figured the directions would be a good start. I have searched all over and cant seem to find anything regarding the install of the HKS on to an R56.

thanks in advance!

If nobody else has the answer for you I will once I'm back home tomorrow morning. I believe I still have the instructions from when I had my HKS on. Easiest way to describe the whole process is you're re-installing the stock top 2/3 of the Air Charge Pipe, and plugging the MAP sensor directly back into it's port. All of the other stuff leaves with the HKS

The vacuum line is T-fitted into the MAP sensor port on the intake manifold.

thanks guys! yeah I would like to take a look at the instructions. I dont see it T fitted to the MAP sensor. it actually goes behind and below where the MAP is. thats my concern. Maybe whoever put this on originally did it differently? not really sure.
I can see the MAP as thats where I need to hook up the boost tap for the boost gauge and I dont see anything on it currently.

I will take some pictures as soon as my car cools down so you can see what I mean.

If they didn't use an adapter to tee it into the MAP, they probably drilled into the intake manifold, which is the worst way to do it.

Here's a pic i was able to get with my phone behind the manifold.. you can see the T adapter. the hose going to the BOV is the bottom one on the T.

so I guess my question is, since a T adapter is present, what can I do with this? can this be used for the boost gauge? do I just buy an adapter to remove the T and join the other 2 together?
The reason I ask about the boost gauge is there is a part to install at the MAP.
