Question where to install BOV??

hi, I am planning to buy HKS BOW recently, and
1: Where would be the best spot to install it, intake? or the stock IC pipe? i heard it's better to be mounted on ic pipe, and i like it better cuz i stil have stock intake. anyone know what the ic pipe made of? is it steel or alluminum or something else...doesn't look either. I know welding is only avaliable on those tow metals

2: VTA or Recirculation? I have done tones of researching....and..ended up with more confusing ??? everyone has their own opinion..like stalling...boggin. someone says it;s fine. I am kinda into the BOV sound..so want to vent to atmosphere...will it be ok even if i don't recirculate it?

HELP PLEASE~~thanx

The closer you dump back to the intake element you put it the louder it will be if you're recirculating. Another thing to keep in mind is that running VTA will cause you to run rich whenever the throttle plate closes due to the precalculated air escaping to the atmosphere instead of passing back into the intake manifold.

Ideally you want it closest to the TB as possible

thats true, the closer to the TB the quicker the response.
