here's some additional info asking of my question...I plan on buy a BLOWOFF VALVE and woundering where does the BLOWOFF VALVE goes in my car or do i have to replace with stock EGR VALVE using same hoses or help me please don't wanna screw this one up

Only TURBO engines have blow off valves. It protects the engine from over charging from high turbo charged ar pressure. If your is bad, it means that the diaphragm inside has ruptures. Many times there are repair kits with NEW diaphragm parts. LEARN form this. Only SYNTHETIC OILS that canhandle high temperatures can be used in your car. VALVOLINE will destroy your turbo bearings and blow youblowoff valve. Use Mobil One, Pentosin, or AMSOIL in there. THese oils can handlee the heat with NO breakdown, NO coke build=up, and NO oil feed or return line failure. STAy AWAY from wax based conventional engine oils. They are NO GOOD for your application if you haVE A blow off VALVE!!!!
A blowoff valve is used in high-powered turbocharged engines. It allows for compressed intake air to be vented out to the atmosphere to reduce turbo lag that occurs due to excessive pressure buildup. It's not necessary for factory turbocharged engines, but if you have designed your own system you may want to add one. If you are unfamiliar with how turbocharging works - other than it makes your car go vrooom - then I highly suggest you take the car to a speed shop and have them analyse the car to determine whether you even need a BOV.
Ben- If your car is not turbocharged you cannot install a blow-off valve. If your car is turbo-charged, this annoying device replaces the Waste Gate. What does a blow-off valve do for your car? NOTHING! It does not add horsepower. It is simply a noise maker to attract the attention of Law Enforcement. So what can you install to improve a Turbo-Charger's boost capability? HKS Controller, Cold Air Intake, Intercooler, High Flow Catalytic Converter, and some type of high performance exhaust system. What's this going to cost? $5000.00+ easy! Lastly, the Blow-Off Valve has nothing to do with the EGR Valve. Two totally different devices, performing two completely different tasks. And... not to burst your bubble. Since you don't know the difference between a Blow-Off Valve and an EGR Valve, I suggest you start taking some basic Automotive Technology classes BEFORE you get into learning about the high performance parts. Why? The last thing you want to do is get into something that is over your head, then have a very large repair bill on your hands because your inexperience in the task at hand is the result of the damage done to your car. One last item here. Performance does not equal fuel efficiency. The more horsepower you want, the more fuel will be required to make it. The more horsepower you desire, the lower the reliability. This becomes a factor because you will be harder on the parts which are doing the jobs required of them. So think before you decide to make major changes to your daily driver. Making performance changes to your daily driver, is a great way to have your friends passing you up with you stuck on the side of the road facing a big tow bill and an even larger repair bill. Bottom line, build your muscle car for a weekend romp, and leave the 4 Cylinder job shuttle alone. Just speaking from 25+ years of turning wrenches!
