Best location for bov

[no class]

..... dealing with limited space on the Kat.....would fitting the bov before the intercooler suffice ?

People will argue that you HAVE to do it one way or another. I personally run my BOV between the turbo and intercooler with no problems. I also like the fact that it dumps hot charge, and not cooled charge.

Well, there are various technically valid arquments for different  locations. Like:

On plenum, just before throttle blades - Air keeps moving along inlet tract while the bov is venting so no time and energy will be wasted to accelerate air again when throttle is opened again.

Before IC - Like mentioned above, IC won't be heated by vented air.

But my guess is that difference will be negligible no matter where you place it...
