mine is near the turbo because that's the only place i had room. In theory the purpose of the BOV is to relase pressure so it doesn't back up into the turbo, so i figure what better place to have it then right next to the compressor. (hey makes sense to me)

IIRC, maximum boost says that its best to go after the turbo, but before the IC, then the author goes on to explain why. I'm at work, so I cant quote it.

You're right. The BOV would be most effective after the turbo.
