83turbo280zx Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 you cant put a BOV after the throttle body on the intake manifold, it defeats the purpose of it being a BOV, the reason a blow off valve is there is to vent the pressurized air elsewhere when your throttle plate closes, if you dont have a BOV inline between ur turbo and throttle body, then the air is gonna bounce right back to your turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you are running ITB's or a blow-through setup, you can to put a BOV on the surge tank (intake manifold was my bad choice of words) since it is before the throttle plates.
