Default Dual port BOV Q

Got myself a godzilla BOV. There are two ports similar to a dual port wategate, top and bottom. Where should the bottom port connect?

Yes, Just connecting it to the top should probably work, but i don't know what the side port is for.

Yeah, but in a wastegate you want to keep part of it open to control boost pressure. The top part of the port is tee’d to the controller and the bottom port is manifold pressure.
A BOV you want to remain closed until off throttle, so I still have no idea what the bottom port is used for. My guess is most people leave it disconnected and only use the top one.

Someone must know for sure….

Alright let me explain my self a little bit better. The way godzilla BOV has a feature dual port. By having this you can have a light spring pressure for fast faster spool with out killing max boost. Also you set your desired boost (psi) as well.

I guess it’s supposed to be inline with the controller then. I don’t see why anyone would want to bleed boost though a BOV, seems like a good way to kill a turbo. I think I will be using it single port style.
