Default Curious about BOV

I am NOT planning on doing this but I'm just curious about relocating/installing BOV on the throttle. I've seen some videos in youtube and they look and sounds nice.

If you install BOV on the throttle, what do you do with hoses where the stock DV is installed?

That's actually a better place for it from a functional standpoint, apart from looking and sounding cool. As for the hole you leave when you relocate it, that can be plugged with an aluminum slug and a hose clamp. I used that method when I deleted my PCV pancake valve to run a vented catch can.

yeah running a bov at the throttle is actually much better. the air is instantly blocked by the throttle plate and by venting it there, it doesnt back all the way up to the stock dv location. heres my location. all youd have to do since youd run a dv is run the vent pip back to the intake. i obviously dont have to do that.
