hey every1,
I'm running NS with the CRV and BOV both venting pressure from the stock locations....but i had an idea. With them both back there, the boost that has been through the IC has to run backwards to exit the BOVs, making this setup a little in-efficent. So i was thinking, why not cap of the stock CRV location, then move it up to the hole on the elbow where the AWS used to take air in? That way, it would vent the air that had already came through the IC, as well as the freshly compressed air from the turbos......lemme know what u all think about that.

well taht also means ur wasting already cooled air when before u were vented heated air yet to be compressed. but thats just me being devils advocate. i have heard that the closer the bov is to the intake mani the better

Go non seq. and then you can use the stock bov on the y-pipe as well as the one for the crv. That way you are venting at both before and after the I/C 
They are both before the IC in the stock locations.
Original Q, was about moving the CRV to the Elbow.

I imagine it would work...
Here's how to try:
Cap the BOV. Put the CRV on the elbow. Drive. If it works, it works... which it should...
If it doesn't, just put the BOV back on..
You could always come try out my Turbo XS BOV...
