Default Incon kit - where to put BOV

All I could find was one picture of the incon "mule" car, and I could not tell much from the pic. I am wondering if some of you incon guys put in a BOV. Where did you put it? What one did you use? Thanks, Pete.

Since I run an auto, I didn't use one and maxed the system out at 17psi and 9.9 at 141mph......butt pipe would be one place.

I was thinking butt pipe would be good. But, do you put it after the 2 pipes merge, or in one of the "leg" pipes before they merge? Or does it not really matter in terms of functionality?

I am a manual trans, so I am thinking a BOV is a good idea.

I wish I had a pic. I lost all my stuff on my computer.

Mine is in the butt pipe, AFTER the two pipes merge. It's mounted to the side, I believe the right?....but either side will work fine.

Mike, thanks for the input. What BOV did you use? And you are saying you mounted yours horizontally on the passenger side?

as long as its on one "leg" it should be fine. If you do it down low under the hood latch, it will be out of the way with less clutter

Runs to the direct port setup before I took it off. Had too much **** under the hood, took all day to change plugs. Just have a simple wet shot now.

Thanks for the pic anarchy, that is what I was looking for. What BOV is that?

On a side note, is your butt pipe painted or powdercoated. Looks sharp, and I like the aluminum radiator support too

I had to make the radiator support out of diamond plate. When I bought my kit, it didn't come with alot of stuff that I needed and I had to fab some stuff up. The BOV is a Tial 50mm and the butt pipe is just spray painted for now. I actually just redid alot of my setup. Heres the fresh pics, sorry the cars so dirty though.
