recommended BOV location

[sharkbait]

as stated. im going to attach a pic asap.

but in the mean time.........., on a A2A on a syty with a PTE74, is it recommended to put the bov closer to the turbo or the TB?

I've read that the reason for a bov is to purge all the pressure from the intake pipping when the TB closes when in boost. thus eliminating unnessesary pressure against the turbo blades/seals/bearings etc.

if the above is correct, shouldn't the bov be closer to the turbo? or does it belong closer to the TB?

post up guys.

My vote is closer to the TB. As the TB shuts, the BOV should be close to where the air would begin to back up to keep the air flow in the pipes going in the same direction when the BOV vents.

It works on pressure, its it going to matter where you put it on a pipe that small with a low pressure like that?

Shorter lines that take less time to pressurise/control the BOV might be more relevant.

What psi are you running?

im NOT running:rotf:im just trying to decide which pipe i should have it welded on. its a PTE74. Id like to run in the 15# range. but i will see what it likes. aesthetically, id like to put it on the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler. it would be mounted around where the batt used to be.
