Re: Where are the BOVS typically located on these trucks?

so what are you using for a vacuum source if you want to mount a aftermarket BOV to a air to air system in this truck or even the stock air to water system? is there a vacuum source or line thats good for it on this truck. all my cars have turbos, even my diesel but all my gases have a source off the TB to use for the bov stock or aftermarket

If you are doing an A2A system on the Sy.

you can put one on the intercooler if you want or anywhere in line from the compressor to the TB.

The stock recirculating type BOV on my STi is on the intercooler

that is it to the right of the TB

I added one to my Porsche 944 Turbo years ago by adding a atmosphere BOV to the pipe coming out of the intercooler going in to the throttle body,It worked well.

maybe if your drag racing it isn't a problem but autocrossing or on a road coarse the back pressure on the turbo well hurt your throttle response and create more lag when you get back in the throttle coming out of a corner.

I can only see good things by Adding a properly thought out BOV to a turbo charged vehicle that doesn't have any type of bypass at all.
