You could put it anywhere between the tb and the turbo.
older dodge turbos had a bypass valve right on the compressor outlet.
some subarus have the bov connected to the intercooler.
If it's before the i/c, the bov will be subject to hotter air. Will the valve like the heat? Who knows. Go ahead and try it.

ya i wondered about that i have seen some drag racing turbo setups with the bov before the ic.. i was like wtf? i dont know if not pushing the air thru the ic before it goes out the bov would make a difference or what.
