bypass valve question
Im getting my pipes welded up this week and need to figure out my bpv location. I was originally planning on mounting it between the TB and IC like normal but am contemplating mounting it between the compressor outlet and IC since it would be a cleaner install, running the outlet practically straight up 10" or so to the intake pipe. It seems that this wouldnt be optimal though, since the air would have to bounce back off the throttle plate and go back through the IC before it got recirced. Am I just being ---- about this or will I not even notice much of a difference with this setup?

I guess the more I think about it, im just over thinking it.. This suspension class blows, im just trying to keep from falling asleep right now.
On a side note, how long, hipothetically, could one run with out a bypass valve at, oh, say 4psi, before potentially causing excess wear and tear on the turbo? No, its not me, but I was discussing this with someone the other day. I had a buddy with a Grand National who had no bpv and he never had any issues other than the excess lag from the compressor surge
