this has been covered before...

Think about it like this...the bovs job is to vent pressurized air into the atmosphere when you let off the throttle and the plates close....now, would you mount it right after the turbo, where all that compressed air, has to change direction and travel backwards through the intercooler to vent...personally i would mount it some where near the middle, but after the intercooler.

most people like to mount as close to the TB as you can. But its a subject for debate.

It does its job better near the TB, but its louder near the turbo.

so... are you into performance, or are you a ricer?

im guessing you have a FMIC, and if you have a upgraded turbo......might be a good idea to run 2 bov's.....

TB=throttle Body
