where to put the BOV?
 

before or after the IC?...i've seen it on the pipe right off the turbo and i've seen it right before the intake manifold...whats the differance?

EDIT, sorry i read your post wrong ;D If you go search on honda-tech.com you will find out lots of people say to put it further from the tb and some say the closer the better, personally i like to go near the tb...

Re: where to put the BOV?
 

mine is near the turbo because that's the only place i had room. In theory the purpose of the BOV is to relase pressure so it doesn't back up into the turbo, so i figure what better place to have it then right next to the compressor. (hey makes sense to me)

IIRC, maximum boost says that its best to go after the turbo, but before the IC, then the author goes on to explain why. I'm at work, so I cant quote it.

You're right. The BOV would be most effective after the turbo. :-* ;D
