I sold the m2 large IC. Now should i go with a 2 or 3 row greddy front mount. I am installing a single turbo in the next few weeks. Also where to mount the greddy BOV?

lol. i never did such things to my car. however....3 row is better than 2, no.



my BOV is after the intercooler. most others ive seen or read about, i think are before the intercooler(i think).



so my thoughts wouldnt have helped u anyway.



but im glad that u were able, like the big boy u are, to come to this conclusion all on your own...

Ok where can I get a greddy three row and pay with paypal? I tried calling rx7 trix but the newer guy Mike doesn't know rx7's and could tell me how long it would take to get the item to me. So anyone know who stocks a 3row and accepts paypal?

what level of boost?



3 row is bad for low levels due to pressure drop (larger core)



2 row can operate fine and cool effectively for modest boost levels reducing pressure drop. The the turbo won't have to push as hard for same level at tb and ends up generating more heat to compensate.





mounting the bov is personal choice b/c



after the ic - you just wasted your air that you cooled and only gained heat in IC



after tb - better prevention of compressor surge due to proximity of the butterflies.



some ppl use two for the both of best worlds. It's excessive but you do have two valves you can use from the stock if your going non-seq.

Dave go three row. People specualte about the bov, but i think the cool side makes the most sense. If you look at the stock location it was on teh y-pipe, so who knows what is best...

You mean Before/after the IC right? I think it would be just a little pointless to hook up your BOV after the TB
