The bov on the intercooler has a purpose. The only difference is there are not any miatas running 40-50psi.

Cool story, bro.

I read that placing the BOV near the TB increases the response time, to the detriment of the turbo. The inverse was also proposed. I don't have any data to confirm this theory.

I put my BOV on the hot side piping just after the compressor. I went this way because I inject meth on the cold side piping just after the intercooler.

I had my friend weld it on the cold side before the TB like I had it before. I should get the pipes back this afternoon and if everything goes well I'll clean them up and install them tomorrow. I'll post pictures and I'll let you guys know if I feel a difference between my old starion and this cxracing one. I'll also let you guys know if my AIT dropped at all or increased. Thanks guys for your opinions.
