BOV question
 
I feel like a newbie, but does it make a difference if you mount it on the driver or passenger side as far as throttle response goes or potential issues? I was thinking of moving the BOV if I do an over the radiator or v-mount setup.

Doesnt matter.

The only thing that I read matters is where you tap the boost signal for the turbo when it comes to the stuff like you mention.

you talking about the actuator signal or for the boost gauge?

I have heard ~12-16 inches from the throttle body inlet is best for throttle response. I have also heard mounted on the intercooler is optimal. I've driven in cars with these setups and one with a bov right after the turbo and could not tell any notable difference. I am convinced this topic goes in the same category as questions like what weight oil should I use.

Until you speak from personal experience instead of "I heard", stick with being a newbie!!

im running mine on the hotside. Makes recircing much easier

if you run it on the hotside you have to use high-temp hose because of the charge air temperature there.
