Good evening all...just finishing up my thumper turbo setup...i was originally going to put my bov right before the throttle body, but some space opened up right after the discharge on the turbo.


would placing my BOV right after the turbo cause any responce issues?


any help would really be appreciated.

thanks.

You want it close to the discharge side of the turbo.

you want it as close to the throttlebody as possible to be ideal... really it should atleast be after the intercooler... but it will still work close to the turbo..

So which one is it??? Mrdude has been around longer, but the name DrTurbo kind of speaks for itself. HAHA

Look at any Outlaw 10.5 car that is setup properly and see where the BOV's are located. Typically they run twin BOV's pre-IC.

yes and if your car is an outlaw 10.5 car you need that extra boost response.... on a street car or anything non forged as close to the tb as possible is best, there is a slight pressure change after an intercooler, so at least inbetween the intercooler and the tb!

maf or maf-less?

well the car has a blow through MAF setup on it...if there wasnt a MAF it would be a no problem to put it right at the bend where the throttle body is.


i appreciatethe responce guys.

as it sits now...the place that offers the most room is right afterthe turbo...but my gut is telling me the most throttle responce and boost buildup after shifts is going to be right before the MAF.

in all honesty, that SHOULD have been my first question..

i really shouldnt be posting on here late at night.




the BOV needs to be BEFORE the maf... on a street car, or any car where you're still pushing 3 digit hp numbers, you can keep a properly sized one near the throttlebody... the HUGE race guys cant move the air out quick enough, so they run multiple ones, usually near the airsource so they dont heatup their intercoolers and such with air thats wasted.

i would atleast have it after the intercooler... i see alot of guys are starting to put it low near the IC exit because of space reasons.

really, it'll work anywhere before the MAF, its not super critical, but we're always talking about the "ideal" way to do things online... and that doesnt always work in the "real world"..

you really need to search more....find previous threads about this topic.Sponsors chimed into my thread on this topic as well as another thread....W2W as well as Jose from Forced Inductions both agreed that BEFORE the FMIC was better.....and it was done with testing.i believe Harlan posted as well and agreed.

Harlan was talking about putting the BOV pre-intercooler cause he has fixed a few IC's that have burst cause of the BOV went after the IC.

How much boost are we talking about here?

so will some one post a pic because mine is right befor the intercoller and i want to move it today!

more then i can afford, thats for sure.

is placement as important and/or the same for A4 cars? I know manuals you have to take your foot off the gas to shift at the redline, and that's when the BOV is most critical.. right? A4 cars really don't close the throttle in between gears.

right before the intercooler should be fine.

not sure how much boost, i guess a few cars IC's he had to fix, he'd have to tell you more info as i dunno.

mine is after the IC, but ill probably move it later when i do my SD tune and get rid of the MAF with the smaller 3" tubing i have it on.
