Heat on HKS SSQV?

[SealSupra-6]

Hey guys on my NA-T setup I have my HKS BOV sitting right over the turbo in order to keep it as close to throttle body as possible. The turbo has the boost logic turbo blaket on it but my BOV gets hot as hell to where you cant really touch it. Can someone tell me if the HKS BOV can handle this type if heat? Will the rubber components inside the BOV melt? Thanks again guys.

Thanks, not what I wanted to hear but I'll see what I can do.

it should be closer to the turbo on the hot side of the intercooler for better turbo life

i had it in the same place on my mkIII and never had any problems with it. worked like a charm till the day i sold the car. and i assume its prolly still kickin.

BOVs are for the turbo not the throttle body. move it closer to the turbo

My BOV gets hot after a long time of driving it...sits where the original stock recirc BOV is...haven't had any issues to date with it - have had it for two years now.
