do you vent or recirculate BOV?
Hello, so, do you guys vent the bov? or recirculate bov?
i guess if you recirculate, then all the water/methanol will enter into the turbo.
any thoughts on this??

most people spray AFTER the BOV so that it's a non issue.

He may be referring to when the TB is closed and the system still sprays a little and the air goes the other way through recirc

exactly.
i accidently faced vent portion of BOV above(point toward the grill on the hood) and tried VTA for the sound, i noticed water/methanol vented to atm and hitting my front window when throttle body was closed. then i imagined if this water/methanol is recirculated back to turbo, what's gonna happen to turbo after long run...

It's one of many other worries, 30,000 miles and no problems yet.

If you have the solenoid hooked up, this shouldn't be a problem right? Since it will immediatly stop flowing?

theoretically, it should stop flowing but in reality, i see water/methanol sparying to atmosphere when throttle valve is closed. so, imagine if this water/methanol is recirculated, it means it going straight into the turbo.

Im still installing my hfs-5 (slowly) but assuming your connections are good and all that, and you are still VTA-ing meth/water, I am curious about this too. I recirc, and I plan to use 100% water, Im not sure if meth or water would be an issue going through the turbo...??
