puting BOV on turbo side of the FMIC... good/bad/nothing to do?
basicly as tittle says...
me and my friend are arguing about it, he wants me to pu my BOV on the turbo side of the intercooler basicly cause he says it's gonna sound louder... and also cause it will reduce the pressure faster from the turbo wheels...
is there any advantage to putting the BOV on one of the side of the FMIC... cause it's not often that you see a HONDA with BOV on turbo side
before I forget, I have a b18b engine runing 10psi (on garrett T3 if someone's curious)
thanks

Well the BOV is made to blow off boost that actually makes it back to the turbo. So technically, closer to the turbo is the least wasteful. If its after the IC, you're blowing off boost that's might not even make it back to the turbo and well its also already cooled air. Kinda wasteful. If its before the IC, it'll bleed only the boost that actually makes it back, and it'll be quicker fill the system back up with boost...if that makes sense. But at this point your counting hairs..so yeah. For ease of installation- (Mainly for a close vaccuum source) I'd say the cold side is just fine

hahah it doesnt ------- matter, no matter where the pressure in the pipe escapes, ther eis stil a pressure drop from "blowing off. pick a spot on the piping, mount it and shut up. mount it on the cooler, weld it to your compressor housing who cares. it wont be any louder, and it will function just the same.

air, like electricity takes the path of least resistence when it is pressurized.
wherever you upen up the circuit, you create a zero resistence outlet. the pressurized air will naturally flow there.

the tb is closed, and the turbo is still flowing air towards the tb. as long as the bov is somewhere on that tract your good, and on the new srt4s and mercedes ive seen, the bov is actually part of the compressor housing.
