pic request of welded on BOV flange

im trying to get an idea where i should put my BOV????

isnt it closest to the TB for best results????

i prefer a type S since thats what i got but im not picky...


does this flange need cut to fit the IC piping?
am i missing somthin here????
the tube welds to the IC piping then the flange goes to BOV correct???
do you cut the flange so it takes the shape of the IC piping or do you just cut the IC piping and stick the flange pipe in the hole a little bit and weld it....if i did it this way would the lip that is in the hole a little be blocking the air flow or effect it in anyway(airflow)?

Closest to TB is the best placement. That way there is a very small pressure wave if any at all.

Pressure wave == energy needed to make it go back in the right direction == slower intake charge for a split second.

As for welding. Yeah it would be best for air flow if you matched it to the curvature of the piping.

the tube welds to the IC piping then the flange goes to BOV correct???
Yup.
