Which way is your BOV supposed to be pointed?
I have my turned around, going the opposite way of air flow. Instead of pointing towards the throttle body, its turned the other way. Does it matter?
The reason I ask is because I saw someone elses turbo, and it was different from mine. How do you have yours???

The outlet of mine is pointed in the direction opposing the airflow. There shouldn't be any issues with that.. it's just a pressure relief mechanism.

It must be pointed facing the back of your car, everytime you blow off the pressure will push your car forward like a rocket ship. good for 30hp!!!!! and 1 second off your 1/4 mile times!!!!

i have been wanting to do that just to see how loud it would be. what would also be sweet, it thoes little noise makers that have a fan in it making a wistling noise. you can also put a balloon on it to make the noise. i will try that one day.
