Default BOV placement on intercooler?
I know the best place for the BOV is closet to the turbo but I have no space to mount the BOV on the intercooler piping from turbo to intercooler. And I have seen BOV's mounted on intercoolers. Just wondering if this is optimal? Or just put it on the piping between the intercooler and the throttle body?

Thanks for the input.

My corvette has a bov in the intercooler. It's not a problem I've done a few other turbo cars of mine the same way. I've had a few without a bov works good too. Weld it in and your good.

If it fits there and you're happy with it, just fit it there and dont worry about it.
