Ideally the compressor bypass valve (CBV) would sit on the hotpipe. The factory chose to put it on the coldpipe. If you can enlarge your picture I can circle it for you. If not I'll take a pix of my sidemount for you.

sorry it wont let me enlarge because of some kind of limit on the image?
so the pipe with the bov is for the hot pipe or cold pipe?

Do you know what the terms BOV, CBV, hotpipe, and coldpipe mean?

I'll get you a picture later on. It should clear up everything for you.

sort of. the hot pipe is from the turbo to intercooler and the cold pipe is from the intercooler to the throthle body? i dont know what CBV is tho?

When you bolt up the intercooler the piping should become obvious. It lines up.

ic then the cold pipe is the one with the stock bov atached to it

That's right. You got it.

I snapped some pix for you below. From the top, the hose that's disconnected is the hotpipe. It's disconnected because my turbo is out right now. The other hose is your coldpipe. The blue silicone taps the coldpipe for your wastegate.

On the bottom view, the CBV was removed and the piping capped.

P.S. Don't mind the pink slippers. I swear they're not mine
