Forge recirculating valve spacer

Will it fit a JCW turbo? I tried searching and only found S info. All the ads say that it is for the S. It's Sunday morning so I can't call a vendor to ask. I want to order it now. If anyone is running one on a JCW I just need to hear that it will fit my turbo. Thanks in advance.

I know they do not add HP. I'm just wondering if it will fit. And possibly if it causes any problems with CEL's

I just like the idea of the recirculation valve working as a Gage of just how much air is expelled. No need to worry if the BOV is adjusted properly. I also like that the air is all taken care of at the same place. No need for the factory valve AND a BOV. Nice, simple, no extra moving parts. I like the simplicity of it.

Does this only apply to JCW's? Aren't there quite a few mini's out there not having any CEL's with the spacer installed? I know Sketch was running it on his mcs w/o any CEL's.
