Anyone try this?????


I have a M2 Med intercooler and a single turbo the plumbing for the intercooler is not long enough to weld the BOV to and I dont have enough room to weld it to the side of the greddy elbow......SO i was thinking about welding it underneath it.

The Greddy elobow is one of the better places for the BOV. Go for it if there's room there.

Theoretically, BOV should be mounted as close to the throttle body as possible to retain as much charge air as possible in the intercooler and its piping between shifts.

My mechanics is on the side of the Greedy elbow where one of the injector bungs was, the other bung holds the air themosensor. The elbow is a good place , the side works for him and the bottom is fine if there is room . See if there is room with nothing touching or rubbing .Make sure there is room to put the hose .
