Default which side to mount BOV on??

I currently have my Turbo XS RFL BOV mounted on the cold pipe of my SR, and im thinking about getting a different BOV in the future. I have seen different setups of people putting it on the Hot pipe and some on the cold pipe. Im running stock T25 but plan to go GT2871R in future as well. Which side is better for the motor/turbo??

This has been asked a million times. I really don't think there's a right place or a wrong place. Some people may say that the closer the BOV is to the throttle body, the better, but one of the most common placement is right on the hotpipe.

thats funny jonas.

it doesnt matter which side it goes, hot or cold.
BUT i prefer to run it on the cold side so the recir. hose doesnt need to run accross the motor.

I'd say cold side since thats where the air is getting sucked in... soo that air doesnt get trapped between the throttle body plate and teh turboooo. If that happenend then it wouldnt be too good for thee turboo y0!
