Swapping Blow Off Valves on Stillen SC

I have the Blitz DD on now and have a Greddy Type-S sitting here next to me. This has to have a custom flange put on or what? Who can do the install, where should I take it, how much should it cost? Any details are appreciated thanks.

Can any car shop do this, like a service station, muffler shop, or do I need to take it to a special place?

How do both of the BOV bases compare? I've never seen the Greddy. I take it you're not happy with the Blitz?

My friend told me they're different and a new flange needs to be made, but I don't know what's involved in that process.

if you can, take it to a body shop. they have welders that are willing to do your job for you.
what you'll need to do is SAW off the old flange, and with a respecitable mig welder, put on the new flange AND make sure there are no holes / leaks.

price? probably around $20 labor, . if the dude is good. no more than 1 hour.
