I've found a inter cooler piping kit that relocates the BOV to the hot side pipe.
Are there anyone who has any thoughts about this?
Anyone running similar?
Anyone seen it in some other kit?

Found it on eBay, it's a complete kit incl intake and filter. "No name"
But it is within my budget..
And yes I know that you get what you paid for but I'm just curious about the tech behind it.

Is it ok to post a link? Cus it's really cheap..

Don't waste ur money on it. It will prolly fit horrible and the filter prolly sucks ***.

Most intercooler piping is just that.. Piping. But you usually pay for fitment, looks, and quality. Just save up and buy a nicer one later. If you can't spend like 300 bucks on a mod, you don't need to be modding regardless.

If you are venting to atmosphere (e.g., it really is a BOV, instead of the CBV that comes on an Evo), then you want to place it before the intercooler, since there's no reason to cool the air that will be vented and you don't want the heat in the intercooler. But if the valve is recirculating, you want it after the intercooler because you never want to send already hot air into a turbo.

Put another way, if you have a speed-density set-up, by all means use a pre-intercooler valve and vent it to atmosphere. But if this is just new piping on an otherwise stock system, do not move the CBV to being before the intercooler.

What do you mean with speed density?
Circulating BOV, don't move!
Open BOV, possible to move!
Right?
But the evo X doesn't like wenting to atmosphere?


Comparing to Sweden it's cheap, about 300$

Do you think it's crap?
Was planning to use pipes but not intake if possible.

Speed-density is another way to calculate air-flow. Instead of a MAS before the turbo (as we have stock), you use the temp, pressure, RPM, and volumetric efficiency of the engine to calculate air-flow. Thus, speed-density allows you to vent to atmosphere, because only the air that reaches the intake manifold matters.

Got it. Like if you use a map sensor instead.
No, my X is pretty stock except TBE.
I'm planning on using stock BOV or Hks ssqv recirc..

edit:
i saw that AGP also relocates the BOV with recirc. "We have also relocated the factory blow off valve placement to the hot side tube and gave the re-route a direct path back into the intake."
so they are pretty much saying that it is OK to recirc hot air into turbo...?
