epstein.. s14 is like that bc that is where the stock bov location is on a s14 motor.. just like why it is in he drivers fender on a s13 kit. greddy for some crazy reason thinks that you will reuse your stock recirc valve... and that is their factory location... but your explenation about air flow direction is very good... but I say fuck bov's... just run a port shrouded turbo and problem solved that is the way tim ran punisher until i got a chance to put in a flange. 0 surge even under 27 psi on a gt35r..
