Default incon bov

I am thinking about putting a bov at the bottom of the butt pipe. Could just bridge the two pipes together under the hood latch. Not the best place prolly but would be out of the way and better than nothing. Oh...what happens if you run no hose on the wastegates WITHOUT wiring them shut? I haven't run them yet and dunno if I will if the wg has to be wired shut to get 15psi.

Or, you could splice into the silicone leading into each intercooler with a "t-piece" and fit a Forge Motorsport BOV or something like a Turbo XS RFL on each turbo. Also, you can use the forge billet adjustable actuators to control the internal wastegate to whatever boost you want. I have twin Forge 004 valves mounted into my auxilliary injector ports just behind my maf currently because I was too lazy to cut into the silicone between the intercooler and "***" pipe. I just came up with the idea of placing the valves on the inlets to each intercooler since most VW/Audi, SRT4, Mazdaspeed, etc. applications all run the valves on the "hot" side of the plumbing and those silicone hoses are probably the easiest to get to and modify.
