Changing stock BOV positions

Just thought I'd let you know this tip ( its probably been done 100 times)

I'm now running non seq stock turbos and Ive played around with my BOV's.
I've done a search and the general consensus is that BOVs towards the Throttle end of the system is best. I have now plugged my primamry BOV into the accelerated warmup hole( which is no longer used) on the back of the elbow and I have plugged up the charge relief valve ( on the second turbo) and put it where the front primamry BOV was.

Result - much better response in gear changes i think because now the throttle end is vented to atmos as well as the turbo end.

Cheers

2 BOV's are better than 1, allthough you would have seen the same performance gain by moving the one BOV, to the throttle side, you would just be wasting cool, air, which you're doing less of now with two BOV's...
