Hi guys

I'am thinking of refitting bov to the turbo side. Is this a stupid idea, or are many people doing this?? still running Recirculating bov!

is there anything negative of doing this?? do I loose spooltime..?

Best regards: Me =)

Can't see any real downsides, you'll be putting hot air back in but it'll be intercooled same as before. Something like a forge would do the job perfectly as it's all alloy. I'm looking at tee into the hot pipe to save on having a food pipe across the engine...

Im using this setup with 2871r @ 1.2 bar. No cons though
btw: greddy officially selling U-shaped pipe from turbine to intercooler with bov mount.

If you want to be pedantic then it would technically affect response time..

You want it as close to the tb as you can really as its all to do with how the air flows and inertia. It will take the turbo slightly longer to get the air moving towards tb again if the bov is positioned by the turbo...like I say I doubt you will notice this in an everyday street car setup its just that technically it does matter.
