You see this is the problem everyone on these forums say put it after the IC but the experts say put it before. Personally I am more inclined to listening to the experts.
Mine is before the cooler now and all is well. Although I do hear a flutter if I tap off and the car wasnt boosting yet. Not sure if I should pull the shim out of the BOV, will make it blow at a lower pressure.

thats it then, as soon as i've finished reading all this fancy literature, i will take a coke along to vlades drug buddy, and have my bov installed before the cooler. its convenient that way too. i dont have to have a complicated pipe with different ID's at either end and an S-shape curve made to order. that sounded expensive anyway!

Honestly on street cars with the boost levels we run I think either way is pretty much the same. I will test it on the car I am busy with but I dont expect to see much difference.
You may see a difference on a road race car or drift car but most people flat shift when drag racing so the dump valve never opens anyway.
i reckon put it where the air speed is lowest or the turbulence highest so it wont affect the airflow that much.
From a intercooler efficiency point of view bevfore the cooler is better but from a flow restriction point of view I reckon after the cooler is better. The pipe ID is bigger and the air speed is lower and I reckon at the intercooler outlet as the turbulence is highes there.
You could play for weeks with different positions and come up with no proper conclusion on a road car.
basically I think we are all stressing with the small stuff.
My Recirculation Valve is on the hot pipe because of piping constraints.
I know its not the best but it woks and I don't have the time or am I willing to waste the money to move it...
