Ben's Z Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I see pics with guys that have the BOV right before the throttle and it appears it is welded to the elbow. Does someone sell an elbow with a bung welded or are you guys having this fab'd up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldAndyAndTheSea Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) I have yet to find a clean looking 45 degree angled piece of pipe with a blow off flange welded to it. On my setup, I am welding one of these to my intercooler piping about 2 inches from the throttle body http://www.ebay.com/itm/GReddy-Type-S-R-RS-RZ-Weld-On-Flange-Kit-Aluminum-/200858557563?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2ec41a5c7b&vxp=mtr Pretty sure it's going to have to be DIY if you want to customize the location. EDIT: heres a mock up of that flange on my intercooler piping. Edited March 4, 2013 by OldAndyAndTheSea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you using for a BOV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldAndyAndTheSea Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I plan on running a Greddy RZ. But that flange is universal for any Greddy BOV. Flanges vary depending on what BOV you want to use, so order accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhBilly Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 It's not a great photo, but here is a shot of my Greddy RS knockoff mounted right before the TB. It's not mounted directly to an elbow, but right in between the elbow connected to the TB and another curved aluminum piece going out through the radiator support. The valve is mounted to a generic ebay special flange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redzedturbo Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Mine is mounted on charge piping before the intercooler. Welded on and the bov is a cheap turbo xs copy from frozenboost.com after i shimmed it with supplied washers it was worked very well for over a year and sounds great not ricer. I did not feel the need to vent cooled air rather than hot so i put mine before the cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowlerMonkey Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I walk around the upull yards where you find volvos and saabs and can usually come up with something that is very close to optimal after trimming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
