I've heard you're supposed to put it as close to the throttle bodies as possible, so as to better prevent surging.

^^^ Correct location but there to prevent reverse air flow.

mine is in a pretty common place....on the elbow itself right underneath the strut bar. if you cannot install in on the elbow install it at the location of cantgostriaght

Mine might be hard to see, but it's on the IC pipe next to the battery. The FD has many different set ups that works. Maybe you could post a pic of your engine bay and we could give you ideas based off your set up.

This is where I put my BOV. I don't have an updated picture of my new setup with my single turbo, but this is where I put mine.

Probable a stupid question but where does the air hose runs to.
and what's the effect on the engine with the BOV installed?

DrunkenBowler

What air hose...are you talking about the vacuum line that runs from the BOV to UIM. You need that so that the BOV knows when to release backflow.

You need a BOV because it removes compresser surge. When the throttle plates close, all of the excess air needs to go somewhere. Without the BOV, the air travels backwards into the turbo compressor. This is BAD!

Rx_Sam

yes the vacuum line ok now i know where to hook up thanks!
didn't know it was so bad. why isn't there a stock bov then?
