has any one had any issues on were they mount there blow off valve when doing a front mount inter cooler. is it better right after the turbo or better right before the throttle body.. just curious. i searched and only found a bunch of F/S threads and one Thread were every body was arguing about compressor surge.... pretty long... thread any who.... just wondering what peoples have done in the past and what works for them..

i read somewhere it was better to put it before the throttle body. thats where i put mine and it seems fine lol

[themadscientist]

I put mine on the cold side of the intercooler as close to the throttle as possible. My reasoning is the air should continue to move when the throttle is closed so when it opens I only have to get 6" of stalled air moving again instead of the whole run. Just my personal theory.

[jautoS13]

never thought about that. why do you think people put it on the hot side?

because im lazy, and theres this nice long straight bit its easy as hell to weld to. ive had no problems, though i seem to get a little surge.

[Chris859]

I have had mine on the hotside since, well... forever. No problems thus far, allthough I haven't tried one on the cold side to compare it to...

[r34 gtr]

me either.

[RS12Turbo]

Mine is on the cold side..........

[Masterdebater]

its another thing that wont make much of a difference IMO. ive tried both andthey seem the same lol
