Can I mount it anywhere in the piping or is there spots better than others? I have the cx racing intercooler kit if that helps?

I have always been told to mount it before the intercooler if possible. The idea is to keep the intercooler temps down during part throttle by not sending the air through the cooler and then bypassing it to the atmosphere. I did this on my twin cooler kit and I'm going to mount it before the front mount cooler here in a week or 2 when I get the motor back in my car.

Okay that what I thought. How about welding it. Is the proflow bypass valve aluminum? I know all my intercooler stuff is aluminum.

Whats the Proflow unit look like ? This is what you use to mount the big red bypass...

It has a piece that comes off the bottom that is attached to it unlike the big red. If it's aluminum can I just get it welded directly in the pipe? Here is a pic

Okay went out to the garage and looked at it. It is aluminum.

I would weld a pipe to the charge pipe that's the same size as the bottom of that valve and use a straight silicone coupler to attach. I would want to remove it if i had too.

If you do end up welding it to the charge pipe I would at least disassemble the valve to weld. Aluminum soaks up heat fast when welding.

My pro flo was on the pipe coming off the blower at the bottom before the intercooler and when I replaced it with a Tial Q it was welded in the same position.
