Default BOV flange on STS kit (what kind of piping is it?)

I'm going to be getting an STS kit soon but am shopping around for the best deals on the components (i.e. injectors, BOV, fuel pump). I've found good deals on the TiAl BOV but what kind of flange should i get. I guess my question is: what kind of piping does the STS kit use? it just says HPC coated not whether it's Al, or stainless or somethin' else.
Thanks!

STS can include a pipe with the flange already welded on and coated for when you purchase the kit. I think STS uses 38mm TIALs as their BOV.

If you buy the bov from STS the flange will be on and coated. If not, then you will have to cut your own hole and have it welded. If you are putting on the STS pipe and not intercooler pipe then just get a steel flange.
