Default Stupid question about relocation of DV..

Ok, so I purchased a DV and had forge install it. He installed it upside down so it makes kind of a bird whistle sound now vs the "whoosh". Not sure why, but he said it would be better to install it like this. What does relocating the DV do? Stupid question I know...

Relocated the Dv to the cold side of the system...right before the intake manifold.

Default why hot air? at cold side?

wouldnt you want the hot, recirculated air to go back through the IC????

im a noob, but where's a link/info on this subject?....

i'd rather have the hot air pass through the IC again to cool it down... not go close to the t/b heating it up....

im sure there's a thorough explanation somewhere....

cheers
