Mounting BOV on FMIC

[turboglenn]

I have a huge BOV that's got a thick cast AL mount and my FMIC is made with thick cast AL tenks (top to bottom flow) So i was thinking about welding the BOV to the FMIC on the inlet side. I figure this will take ALL pressure off the turbo when it opens since the air will be released before even meeting the FMIC core

Anyone have any long term experience with this?

I wel;ded one up on a guys GN that i use to hang with but he never ran the car much when i was there and then sold it before i could see how well it did... i went to the track with him once and he was mad that he was only runnin 11.40's instead of high 10's but i doubt the BOV was slowing him down

anyway opinions and gadvice from experience is needed

subi's have the bov on their topmount

I dont see any problem with it, as long as your not trying to recirculate the bov.

cool, thanks fellas, and Kyle T, I'm running a haltech that's speed density so MAF's and recirculation are far and distant memories these days

You will get greater BOV response with this as well.

well, after mocking it all up there was really no room to mount the BOV on the IC Core, so i went the standard route and mounted it on the UICP, 9it's huge so it sounds good and at least it doesnt' leak (not sure on brand it was a gift for some labor a while back)

Got the IC pipes done and they are NICE, (i still gotta clean them up but we finished at 1AM after doing 2 cars complete so i was too damn tired to finish it that night. i'm going for a few pics here in a minute and will post them in the thread where i'm asking about routi9ng through the radiator support\

thanks for all the input everyone
