Is my BOV installed incorrectly?

[Remix-]

The position in which my blow off valve is mounted has made me curious as to whether i am suffering a loss of any power, or perhaps it is incorrectly mounted? I have seen many bov's mounted in place of the stock plumb back. I know the car previously had a FMIC, although they removed it hence the different coloured piping which they used to replace.

Should i get the blow off valve relocated to the plumb backs position and replace the piping with stock pipes? Is there any effect on performance? FMIC and custom piping is not far down the track, but this is more to solve my curiosity.

Thanks

Your factory BOV will/should have a blanking plate, have a close look?

Questions

1. Is the car Auto or Manual?

2. Are you using the standard computer and AFM?

Its a BPV (By PASS Valve) on the original crossover if an Auto!

Whats the diff you ask?

BOV - needs to vent excessssss boost - (Back into intake if AFM still in system).

Used on Manual cars as you have to back off to change gears and helps stop stalling the compressor when throttle closed suddenly.

BPV - FOR AUTO's - Needs to open immeadiately you floor it to get better response off the line with more METERED airflow into the intake manifold.

Think about it, you dont need to take your foot off when an Auto changes gears so why would you need a BOV as such, though the BPV will act as one also when backing off suddenly on braking.

Also thinking about it, wouldnt the BOV open to atmosphere (Non metered air into intake) on a vacuum signal while ideling and initial acceleration? (Leanout?)

Sorry, just thinking aloud;-)

It's a manual with std ecu and afm.
