IC mounted BOV

The IC that I am using is off a 94 R2. It is a large horizontal mount IC with the BOV mounted on the end tank just before the outlet. It is a good weld and mount.

Any thoughts on effectiveness?

I've always read that the BOV should be placed close to the TB. I've seen a lot of big turbo/big IC guys running two BOV's, one on each side of the IC.

The IC is a very large either Custom or NPR type. My BOV is 2 inches from the outlet, so I guess you can't get much closer to the TB without mounting the BOV on the elbow!

The car came from Puerto Rico w/ a large streetport, T66 and many other HP parts.


Two BOV's on the IC huh?

What about the effectiveness of the horizontal mount with a back vented hood?
