Default Greddy intake and exhaust questions...

I've been installing my greddy kit and came up with a few questions, that you guys may have some answers for.

On the compression pipes some people have putting two BOV before the inter cooler and most after the intercooler. Before the MAF. I was wondering does anyone think it would be beneficial to create an "h pipe" by connecting the charge 2" pipes before the intercooler and mounting a BOV there? Let me know your thought and opinions.

My exhaust question is, how many people running dual exhaust setup have them x piped or h piped and if you think there is any benefit there. I have an AAM y piped. And was just going to replace the Y with straight 3" but was not sure if I should consider trying to create some type of cross over.

Not sure about the intercooler piping, I have mostly seen one BOV on the outlet piping of the IC.

I would say most people have dual exhaust with the greddy's. I went with 3" DP's and a 3" APS system to help make the turbo's more efficient. Not sure if anyone has really messed with X pipes as I don't know of a mass produced system that incorporates one. Would have to have custom work to set it up.

Chuckle...as in no good? The only reason I was considering it, was hoping that having the BOV before the intercooler would help with some surging issues that some people have?

So you think it is best to just leave one after the cooler before the MAF? Did you ever experience any surging?
