Depends what you want to do. If you want to do it to prevent AFM issues and help turbo reliability (no matter how small an effect it really has), as close to the compressor as possible is better.

For maximum response (assuming you dont have an AFM issue etc that requires a BOV) the best position for a BOV is in the trash can, as contrary to popular myth, turbo rpm drops far faster with the BOV open than without (try it with a turbo speed sensor if you don't believe me...).

Do you have anymore info on your intercooler/rad setup? looks really clean. did u have to cut up anything or did u just get brackets to make the system work. Also i love the look of the overflow tank, anymore info on that too?

The rad is a koyo n-flow. The intercooler is from cxracing. The expansion is form rotary works (one of the worst fitting pieces I have come across). I had to cut out the round tube from the front cross member and fab up the brackets to fit everything.

Made myself a intake box from aluminium. Don't mind how dirty the rest of the bay is, just got it out of storage.

Yup it is sir . Outside like stated before and In the bay . Need to touch up a few spots from banging the intercooler piping an turbo like a dumbass . But for he most part it's really forgiving when banging **** around . The outside I have no problems at all but it was a different kit . Plan on doing the lower section inside and remove the carpet from the bins forward .
