bov placement

[toyotwo91]

Does it matter where the bov goes on the upper pipe? My problem..... I made a upper pipe but the rfl was leaking. I had my old greedy so I got the pipe an flange mounted in for temp, but its only a couple inches down off the throttle body elbow. ?

Nope I don't see it causing a problem (someone will correct me if i'm wrong). Though recirculated will be what most people say, but the rfl can't. Are you compensating for that lost air?

In reality, it should be placed as close to the tb as possible.

Yea I will be compensating for the air loss. Idk if this is going to cause a issue but I vented my valve cover w a breather. For no other reason than I powder coated my valve cover white an it looks amazing . Is this going to cause an ideal problem. I haven't even looked into it. Just thought I would ask. Guilty of the no search

well venting your VC with a breather filter isnt going to cause a problem in and of itself, but you are not going to be relieving much of your crank case pressures. You really want to have a vac source into your VC at all times so your pulling as much of that crank case pressure out at all times. It will help your rings seal better, and is supposed to help in the engine life as well as oil life. Since Ideally you would have less blow by and thus less crap in your oil. But the BOV can really go anywhere on the pressurized side, but the closer to the TB the better normally.
