Winner winner chicken dinner. I have not played with a BOV since my JDM days. Those guys liked them loud. The one from Blitz even had a trumpet-like horn to amplify it.
Leonard, I sincerely and wholeheartedly hope this leads to a successful and long life of your SXE, Turbonator and truck in general. You are a brave man and we are all watching from the comfort of our homes, but right along side you in spirit.
Got the BOV mounted onto the hot side CAC pipe. That block with wires at the top of the picture is the control solenoid valve. I am not impressed by the hose provided to supply pressure from the solenoid valve to the BOV so I will be assembling a proper stainless braided teflon hose.
I have seen similar BOV's used in high HP turbo Corvette builds and look forward to the outcome.
Is the BOV going to be near battery? I am having trouble seeing where it will be situated once installed, but the angle of the picture might be messing with my brain.
I was surprised you chose electronic. Is this for better control and adjustability? Any concern of response time?
Electronic is the only way to go since there is no readily available manifold vacuum signal in a diesel.

Yes it will be. It will hover above the power steering pump.
I did not have prior knowledge of the turbo maps when I suggested a 372 as your path forward recently, I was going with a gut feeling. I am grateful to see I didn't steer a friend into the danger zone with Kenny Loggins and some big ole mirror sunglasses.
Turbo maps can be difficult to understand at times and even more difficult to map your own modified turbo.
That said, do you think the FTN version of the 372 will be far off from the BW map? I suspect if it is off, it would be in your favor.
I for one am really looking forward to seeing you be successful in this cutting edge adventure.
