the couplers i thought looked pretty good except the cheesy ones that go right on the intercooler and the one that goes right on the turbo....i have samco couplers on my custom setup now and the only difference i see is the greddy couplers have cloth on the outside.. i have my bov on the tb side now and it seems to be fine anyone else have any opinions?

The cloth will get dirty and black in no time. Look at how thick they are. Now, you see two layers of stiching? Well, the ATP ones have three layers and are all silicone. No cheap cloth layer. Add the T-bolt clamps to the ATP couplers and you have great realiability. Unlike the cheap clamps greddy sends. THey warp, and stech, and are flimsy.
If you run into leaks, change them out!

thats what ive been hearing but why would it be bad for the turbo if i put it on the tb side and how would i get more performance if i put it on the tb side...its still releaving pressure if its on the tb side so why would it hurt the turbo?

I have mine on the turbo side. I have heard of people running two blow off valves just to get rid of the "turkey gooble" sound effect the blow off valve makes after throttle release. I have this sound effect and really only get it when I am slightly boosting(about 3-4 psi), when at WOT and full boost(14psi) it sounds normal.
I kinda like the crazy sound effect, I had my friends little girl comment on how it sounds like Scooby Doo snikering.

The BOV should be mounted as close to the throttle body as you can mount it. This prevents the turbo from having to re-pressurize the whole intercooler and piping after it vents. Sometimes, however, this is not possible due to the location of the pipe. I think you would have a hard time mounting a large BOV near the throttle body with the Greddy kit.
