recirculating BOV's

i have a Greddy type S and thought about running it back into the IC piping...im just looking for opinoins on how much does it actually help build the boost back faster? is it a very noticable difference or is it a slight not worth the trouble difference? i only have slight lag due to a front mount IC so i was just wondering...
if i DID decide to do this where does the line get routed to?? closest to the turbo on the hot side??

In my experience, the recirculating has only helped even out the a/f ratio. In some cases, it's necessary. I've never noticed an increase or decrease in spooling. I suppose this could vary with the different setups, too.

i'm a fan of atmospheric BOV's, there's nothing better than that loud pop and fire out of the tail pipes

Same here,no noticable power/spool increase.I did it with my Blitz to keep the ECU happy and because Im not big on BOV noise and the,"look at me" involved......

thanks for the help...im not worried if the BOV is noticed by people or not so quieting it would not matter...i personally like the sound but for better efficentcy i would get rid of the noise maker...BUT..i have noticed the richness VIA wideband and i am not concerned on this situation..i was hoping it would help spool the turbo a little faster...
thanks for the help though!!
