BOV Adapter for 2011 Mini N18 Engine

I was able to come across a BOV adapter from Forge. It is just the adapter. I did some research and I noticed forge states it won't work with the N18. I looked at where to install and it looks no different then the N14. It is advertise by some sellers that it works up to the 2012 MINI. I just want to see if someone has it, or if it is a big NO NO.

I will try myself, if it don't work it don't work. it is cold still, so i will wait on installation. Just want to know some info why N18 won't work with it.

We've test fitted them on N18 cars and not always but sometimes you have to file on one side to make it fit as the vacuum actuator is slightly larger, and that is why Forge list it not fitting N18
