I have the car sitting there, but I did take one of each side, here you go.

Well, the forge BOV is supposed to be delivered today. If it is, I'll be putting it in today as well. I'll let you guys know if that solves my issue with a bit of lag on the boost.

I'm sure it will make it better, don't drop a bolt, the one close to the engine side was a challenge to get in there without dropping it.

It's done, no bolts were dropped, and the car drives much better. Even fixed an issue I've had since the GMS1 was installed. Car doesn't surge under moderate throttle anymore! Boost is more predictable and consistent under all conditions. And the lag is reduced back to normal levels as well. Definitely worth it if you have a few miles on your SS to replace the crappy stock part.

I haven't fixed the wiring clearance issue yet but did pick up parts from the hardware store today to take care of it. I hope to do something similar to what the dealer did for yours. No driveability issues from it now but I want to prevent problems down the road.
