I think he meant “backfire” due to not re-circulating the system at all. i.e. venting to atmosphere. ---

Yeah I was referring to metered air being vented, and a momentary rich period possibly causing backfiring or stalling if in neutral. ---

There is no **answer** to this question. It’s a matter of preference. It’s like asking God if your wife should give birth to a male or female. ---

pick a side, cold or hot, mount it and forget about it. Your going to be thinking too much about it. ---

the answer is to just THINK guys seriously.if you got a hallway/tunnel lets say 50feet long for argument sake,at the beginning of the tunnel you`ve got a huge waterpump fulling up the tunnel with with water also with alot of pressure,at the extreme end you`ve got a door.remember if that door was to periodically open and close where would a clash exist, at the door!! now if you were to put another door in place to relieve some of the pressure at that door wouldnt you want to place it near where the water would be clashing up against the end door? like an exit! always think of your turbo, piping, intercooler, bov etc as a water system something that you can visualise flowing… it will even help you with diagnosing problems on your car like when you pop a coupler in an area thats not visible a leaking bov. etc. so even though its not that much of a big deal i`d still put it on the sensible side even though i was recirculating. just run a longer recirculating hose. fobwall double face palm for you lol ---
