BOV placement
Good evening all...just finishing up my thumper turbo setup...i was originally going to put my bov right before the throttle body, but some space opened up right after the discharge on the turbo.
would placing my BOV right after the turbo cause any responce issues?
any help would really be appreciated.
thanks.

well the car has a blow through MAF setup on it...if there wasnt a MAF it would be a no problem to put it right at the bend where the throttle body is.
i appreciatethe responce guys.
as it sits now...the place that offers the most room is right afterthe turbo...but my gut is telling me the most throttle responce and boost buildup after shifts is going to be right before the MAF.

the BOV needs to be BEFORE the maf... on a street car, or any car where you're still pushing 3 digit hp numbers, you can keep a properly sized one near the throttlebody... the HUGE race guys cant move the air out quick enough, so they run multiple ones, usually near the airsource so they dont heatup their intercoolers and such with air thats wasted.
i would atleast have it after the intercooler... i see alot of guys are starting to put it low near the IC exit because of space reasons.
really, it'll work anywhere before the MAF, its not super critical, but we're always talking about the "ideal" way to do things online... and that doesnt always work in the "real world"..

you really need to search more....find previous threads about this topic.Sponsors chimed into my thread on this topic as well as another thread....W2W as well as Jose from Forced Inductions both agreed that BEFORE the FMIC was better.....and it was done with testing.i believe Harlan posted as well and agreed.

not sure how much boost, i guess a few cars IC's he had to fix, he'd have to tell you more info as i dunno.
mine is after the IC, but ill probably move it later when i do my SD tune and get rid of the MAF with the smaller 3" tubing i have it on.
