Default bov placement

Where is yours and why?

Everyone has their theory. I would like to hear some of them.......

EXAMPLE:
just before the TB
on the turbo housing
as close to the turbo as possible
on the FMIC

It has been debated tons of times:

The primary goal is to prevent compressor surge

I think the absolute best spot would be between the ic and turbo but I also don't really think it is that big of a deal. I put mine between the i/c and throttle body because it fits better there.

On my new setup it will be placed where you mentioned... just after the turbo. One of the new factory cars are being placed there also.

Mine is on the charge pipe between the IC and the TB. Works fine for me!
