as i understand it, you want the blow off valve as close to the throttle body as possible. this is so that when the throttle plate slams shut, the BOV can release the pressure before it is forced back into the spinning turbo. matter of fact you don't even really NEED to use one with anything less than 10 psi, just ask any mazdaspeed protege owner. why you would even put it on the intake pipe is beyond me. it isn't actually doing its job there. also, there is a huge difference between a recirculating bypass valve and a BOV.




bypass here . . .
