BOV MOUNTING??
 
My intercooler has about 1ft of piping before it gets to my airbox and its in a u shape what would the best place to mount my bov?
would turbo surge be a factor? ???

Re:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOV MOUNTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
uuhhh....why dont you just mount it where everyone does, right before the throttle body? seems pretty logical to me ::)

Mount it on your exhaust manifold, duh! j/k Anyway, mount it anywhere between the turbo and the throttle body , so you can release the pressure before it backs up into the turbo.

Re:BOV MOUNTING??
 
If your asking if you can mount it on the pipes that are on your intercooler, yes thats fine. Just cut a groove in the piping.. sit the bov on there as straight as possible and jb weld it sealed. The idea you have will work fine
pm me if you need some more info

Can i mount it before the IC?
is turbo surge , when the turbo gets air pushed back on the compresser side (reverse flow)?
1.if not what is it?
2.how does it happen? how do you stop it? ???

just put the ------- BOV anywhere after the ------- compressor side of the turbo, you ----, it don't matter anyway, you don't even need a ------- BOV, unless your gona run a ton of boost, like ------- ton, ---- a ton, just ---- it, just ------- mount the BOV, who the ---- cares what compressor surge is, go fuckyourself.

When the throttle body closes boost builds up behind it. I'd put the BOV a few inches away from the tb.
