BOV Orientation

I have the Injen Intake w/ the UICP took off the Turbosmart bov that was on there when I bought the car I put the stock bov back on I just want to make sure I put it on the right way anyon have a pic. I put it on so the bottom port on the bov goes to the IC pipe and the side port goes to the Intake pipe. The cars idle is much better now no Idle surge at all. The stock box is going in as soon as I get the stock IC pipe.

Thanks in advance for any imput

I dont have a pic but the piston portion of the valve should face the intercooler piping such that when the throttle body closes the pressurized air must press against the piston to go back into the intake pipe.

ok theres a port on the side of the bov and one on the bottom. I haave the bottom port going to the IC to IM pipe and the side port going to the Intake pipe is this correct. And if I had it backwards would the car run funny

Yeah, I think that is right. You will probably get some flutter on shifts if it is on backwards.

The port directly opposite the cap of the valve should be going to the intercooler piping. Does that clear it up?
