Glad you guys chimed in. Never ran enough boost on any of my previous cars to blow a core so I guess I'll always place the bov before the IC from here on out.

Yea thanks to all the guys who replied... I think its a valuable topic, that a lot of guys just coming into the Turbo game might not even realize at first there is an option of "where to put" it...

So set it up to get the best of both worlds if possible.

Went before the IC...close to the Turbo.... And really, being a front mount up near the water pump, the reference line really isnt that much longer than if it were up at the TB....
