Default BOV before the Intercooler?

are there any benefits from putting it before the intercooler

i have had a couple of people tell me to put my SSQV there, and not right before the TB.

any input is welcome

No.. you want something have the valve facing the flow directly off of a bend.

Wasting cool air.. **** & bullshit.

Wasting cold air, because you cant make more!

Air can be reversed if theres a low pressure source if the valve opens.

I rather place it near the throttle on a bend with the valve opposing the flow.

I too always wonedered. I mean they do it on the sr20?? I was always confused to what he benifit was. maybe help prevent the turbo from surging or something. Not to mention that the full race kit has the tial sitting right on the intercooler on the hot side??

it won't make a single difference, other than making you have a very long vaccum line going to the bov
