some people say it's better to be closer to the carb hat, some have it ON the carb hat, and some say closer to the intercooler.... ? lets get some opinions on this!

"Maximum Boost"says to place it as close to the intake manifold as possible because that is were the back pressure originates from when you let off the throttle and the butterfly valve blocks the pressurized air entering the intake, thus creating the back preasure that the BOV releases. Somewhere between the IC and the intake is best placement. If you are new to turbos I would strongly suggest adding "Maximum Boost" to your collection of books.
