    I have been reading up on BOV's and I think i may have got a little mislead by one of the tech articles on it...
    My Q is:
    do you use the tube that connects to the intake (one at the top that is on an 's' shaped hose) or the hose at the bottom that I think connects to air intake after the turbos? I would now think it goes on the bottom hoses after reading an article, although I have already fitted them to the upper hose ( I still get a blow of air on lifting off the throttle) can someone please verify which hose to connect to (bov's not recirculating type) I may have to take it apart again.
    Cheers

    bovs can be fitted anywhere on the intake piping

    AFTER THE TURBO, as they are ment to vent boost pressure.. therefore must be after turbo,

    a popular place to put them is in place of the stock recirc valves under the nosecone

    No i'm pretty sure you've connected them to the right hoses. To have done this i presume you have a hardpipe kit and you have welded the adaptors on?
