Big Red BOV questions ? I have a a d1sc twin intercooled setup on my z28 and am in the middle of winter upgrades. I am looking at purchasing a big red BOV. My question is how many guys are running a similar setup or have used a big red bov? And where did you put it? before plenun, after plenum? Pics would be greatly apreciated..
Here's a couple pics of the setups i've built with the big red procharger valve.
One is my turbo car and the other is a D1SC car.
Stand by... tech is being queer and wont take my D1SC pic

Running the bypass valve before the intercooler(s) keeps the compressed air from heating up the intercooler(s) until you want to build boost. Sometimes though, there just isn't enough room to mount the bypass valve ahead of the intercooler(s) and the only place to mount the bypass valve is after the intercooler(s). Another thing to consider is that when the bypass valve is mounted close to the ground, it is going to kick up a lot of dust when in the normally bypassed mode.
Here is a link to where I sell the ProCharger race valves.

LOL you sound like me. I love the way the Big Red sounds.
OP:I have mine in the same spot as Bobs.
Hey Bob do you think it makes that big of a difference to mount it where you have it versus before the intercooler?

In theory it has to. Say you're driving your car an hour to the dragstrip, all of that compressed air is being routed through the intercooler as you're driving down the highway. I've never done and testing on the inlet air temps with a bypass valve being located before and after the intercooler, but it would make for an interesting test. A cool down though once you get to the track would lower the inlet air temps and you'd be good to go. Bob

Thanks chevy chad thats exactly what I was looking for..Thanks to all the other contributers as well. And much like chevychad I love the sound and am not realy trying to hide either. Police hear in california seem to be more obsessed with exhaust loudness than anything else. Wish me luck!!!
