TIAL BOV---Best Placement on IC plumbing
 

Where is the best place for the BOV to be placed on the plumbing? Before TB....IC....after IC....


Thanks guys:D

anyone have pics of tial bov and a source where to purchase it?

The BOV wants to be as close to the TURBOS as possible- so BEFORE the IC.

If thats the case then why does the GReddy elbow offer a flange for a BOV mounted right on it?? Thats far away from the turbos. I have mine mounted on my IC piping right after the IC, between the elbow and IC. I am pretty sure I heard just the opposite as you maxpesce but I could be wrong.

The bov should be as close to the tb as possible due to IC system pressure drop. If you have the bov by the turbo and its seeing 18psi of pressure and the manifold is only seeing 16psi then you have 2psi pushing on it trying to crack open the bov while under boost.

If you want to mount it close to the turbos you could always weld in a nipple to the IC pipe next to the bov, that would insure the bov is seeing the same pressure on both sides
