doesn't need to be in any particular position just check the clearance under the bonnet and which ever will be more convenient. i would cut off the bit that goes into the intercooler pipe shown above and weld the remaining on.

Cheers mate. So u think i should cut the excess bit off the BOV or the pipe that comes off the intercooler? :)

it depends on clearance, i would cut a bit off of the intercooler pipe as well as the DV flange to be honest just to try and keep the DV as close to the pipe as possible just for convenience and to keep it out of the way more than anything, just make sure you can get an Allin key in there just in case the DV breaks or anything, make sure you take off the DV as well when welding just in case you get any spoil into it and cause damage to it.

does it necesseraly need to be welded on cant you just sucure it using a silicone joiner and jubely clips, at least then you could change it easily if you wanted to!!

im sure ive heard that its better to be closer to the throttle plenum due to response, but i didnt no if that was true or not?

right, i found out that the bottom of the DV is like annodised steel or something and the pipe for the intercooler is alloy, so cant be welded. Looks like its gonna have to be a samco job and ill probably get the DV as close as i can. Cheers for everyones help :)
