Just like the topic asks,

heres a pic



Why would you mount it on the end tank as opposed to mounting it on the charge pipe?

This is the first time Ive seen it set up on an end tank, got me curious

id like to know too, my buddys wrx has the same mount point, so there has to be an advantage?

 

I just think that since it is closer to the turbo, it has less chance of the compressed air surging back to the turbo.

 

I like to get some info on it also. I am not trying to jack your thread. Is tial the only blow off valve you can mount on it?

 

Greddy Type S and Type R also, from what I gather I believe they can actually weld any flange for any wastegate on there tht you want. I am sure they can do an HKS SSQV.

 

ttt....thats where I am going to mount my bov.

 

-there's more pressure there than at the charge pipe.
-the whole point of a bov is to protect the turbo... not the charge pipe, or intercooler.

 

the whole point is to protect thr turbo. full-race

 

anyone running this set up??

 

I just recently moved my blow-off valve to that loation and am happy with it. I have many good discussions with various members on this board and was convinced of it benefit.

 

what are the benefits? is the only benefit the fact that there is theoretically more protection for the turbo?

 

volvo puts their bov on the turbo, closer the better.

You're going to get various opinions on this mounting location vs the usual CAC pipe mounting location. You're best bet is to look over the older posts....there are a few that focus on this subject. Make your own decision...that is my best suggestion.

 

One benefit that I see is that there is slightly less work for the intercooler to do. Instead of making the intercooler cool a charge and then releasing it with a valve mounted near the throttle body, you are relieving the intercooler from having to cool that air that is released. It seems minor but could keep the intercooler at a lower temperature by releasing the hot air before it gets there.
