<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/23227/dscf0001.jpg"></center><p>BTW I just made up this tee out of some stainless tubing in preparation for the relocation of the DV to the inlet hose of the manifold. Hope to get the whole job done this weekend...NEW location of DV...NEW red Samco hoses on FMIC top side...NEW red Samco MAF hose...NEW TTDA.!!!!! Thanks for all your help so far I may need a little more soon

Well, the theory is.....>>

That the great majority of the time you're recirculating air ie: the DV is open and dumping hot air from right off the turbo exit pipe back into the intake. By relocating the DV to just before the Throttle body, you're now recirculating cool air that has already passed through the intercoolers. You're also depressurizing the system at the point of obsruction (The throttle body), not the whole intake tract from the current dump point. Benefits:
Cooler eventual intake temps
Faster DV response
Less turbo spool down on shifts and off throttle
No heat related problems with the DV
There are 2 TT's with IC intake and outlet temp monitoring. Mine and JazziTT's. Most of our mods are similar (Samco, FMIC)...The Difference is the DV relocation, and my TTDA pressurized, insulated CAI. My car under similar conditions is considerably cooler at the IC out pipe. Remember, Only 10 degrees equals 1% gained power...That's 2-3 horsepower in heat savings alone. Pics at the link!
