Default sts with ati twin intercoolers?

Anyone done that? I have the twin intercooler setup installed but not hooked up. Any ideas for where to put the BOV? Any pics?

After the intercoolers streams have come together and before the MAF. That should force you to put it in a pretty limited number of spots.

Not going to be using the maf. Eliminating it all together.

The piping from the intercoolers should come into a Y into the throttle body. Put your BoV on the side of that Y piping.

Also, would it be more efficient to go in line with the IC's? As in, into the drivers side, out to the passengers, and then up to the TB?

You have to run the intercoolers in parallel, not in series. That way you'll get way more cooling out of them, and half the pressure loss. If you put them in line the pressure loss would double, and the 2nd intercooler just about goes to waste. So you'll be splitting the stream before the ICs and bringing it back together after. That's where you put the bypass. It will pretty much end up within a foot of the throttle, unless you do an unusual setup.
