Default yet another bov question(something small and stupid..)

alrighty i snagged a turbo off a saab a while ago and i got the bov and ic everything i could.the bov is the bosch type and if im correct these are the by pass/ diverter style.. now saying that is correct i cant remember(cause its been 2 months ago prob) the bottom of the bov was mounted on the air intake tube and the side had a hose going back into the ic pipe next to the tb so the way it looks like it would work with this bov is that the charge wouold come down that hose into the side off the bov and exit out the bottom into the fresh air intake pipe am i thinking wrong and if that is the way they opperate thenn obviously i can mout the bottom of the bov on my ic pipe like aq "convintional" bov ? hope this all makes sense lol thanks

On the Saab it sits on the charge pipe between turbo and the mass airflow senser.I would say thats the best spot for it couse this way you wont get anny turbulance right before the throttle boady.

What car is this for?You dont need to recirculate the air out of the BOV back into the intake.You can but the whole point of boosting a car,at least for me is to hear that ever so lovely sound of a BOV going off when you shift!And to answer your question,yess the bottom goes to the charge pipe and the top(presurized air released) can be recycled or you can just let it go out.
