move stock BOV to elbow..

I have a stock elbow, it has the accelerated warm up hole on the back side of it but mine is just plugged.
I ve heard that you should put your BOV as close to the throttle end as possible, would I be able to swap my stock position ( on side of primamry turbo) to the elbow end and plug the stock position hole thus achieving this???

its better to have the BOV closer to the turbo.....this reduces compressor surge and releases hot air(before the intercooler) rather than cold air(after the intercooler)....you could add an extra BOV(find another stocker)....but there would be little to no benefits to doing so.....

It's been done. Works fine. Heat will get to and kill the stockers long before compressor surge will, so either location is more than safe.. However, you won't notice a difference or really gain any benefits from moving it or adding another one for that matter..
