BOV Location Before or After Intercooler
I am mocking up my supercharger D1sc procharger system. I would prefer to mount the big BOV on top before the MAF. I wanted to get everyone's imput on moving it from before the intercooler.

Someone correct me if I am wrong but if your going to run your bov up top you need to be running with a speed density tune because of the airflow effect the bov opening/closing would have on the MAF. Mine is ran before my intercooler.

I believe running it after the MAF is a no no.
However, you will want it before the intercooler and as close to the compressor as possible. This will reduce any compressor surge and it will also allow for cooler intake air temps due to less air sitting in the intercooler and other piping.

Ok so it is going back where it was before. The problem this time is its a procharger big red race valve and 3 times as big. Going to have to work on getting it to fit there.
