The other thing you could do is fab a small merge pipe before the TB and mount a single BOV... it'll be a lot cheaper.

Or you could mount it on the intercooler

Marty, he's running twin intercoolers (so he'd still need 2) and by his description I don't think there is any commonality between all the piping until right at the throttle body entrance.

Default bov

Thanks Guys, i think i like the crossover tube with one BOV, i could place it on the bottom side of the pipes, it would not be the first thing you see looking at the engine. Also i had some concerns about setting up a dual BOV, how do you get them both to pop at the same time. I would think it would be a pain in the butt to dial them in properly without the car on a dyno.

Thanks Joe

most oem setups do not use blowoff valves.
there are a ton on the market, including some real monsters from ati procharger and vortech.
they're much less critical in a turbo app then a centrifugal blower app as turbo rpm rapidly falls off with throttle while blower boost is tied to rpm.
if you need nay help or advice feel free to contact me at my shop.
hi marty,
what ya been up to?
i'm gonna sell off my syclone soon...it's been parked 3 years now, kinda lost interest.
