Thats because these cars come with a MAF or AFM sensor. The BOV recirculates between the MAF/AFM and the turbo, so that the ECU can keep proper track of how much air is in the system. Otherwise the car just goes rich for a second after each shift because the ECU thinks there is a bit more air than there is.

To be honest, with a MAP sensor'd car I cant see how this would do anything but put hot air back through the turbo, but whatever its sleeper as hell that way and a bling setup IMO. I would sure be happy with that if I were your customer.

edit- That is, if the sensor is before the turbo. Apparently its before the TB in some cars.. so I guess those cars would handle the BOV not recirculating.

the bov after the intercooler would be putting a lil bit of colder air into the turbo dont you think?

BMC,that setup looks good to me.
Dont get so defensive with people that dont like it.We all have different tastes and your allways going to have critics like Hotrexs that are quick to point out that you used a log mani but the ramhorn he made never worked so he had to resort to a cast mani .

I like bitches with big bootys and dont care for big ****.Some guys like bitches with big **** and dont care what her *** looks like....you see my point

So dont take things to personal.Its just a matter of taste.

Could never be any colder than the air coming through the filter, less its in a shitty location, but yeah I see your point.

I like a bit of balance, but the *** has to be there.
