FMIC...best way to hook BAC back up?

Alright, so trying to get my custom FMIC finished up...and the only question I'm really facing is what to do with the BAC? What is the "right" way to hook this back up so that it works correctly? Where do I need to plumb in all the hoses? Pics of a properly setup one on an FMIC setup would be great.

Mimic the stock set-up. Put a nipple on the IC pipe just after the compressor outlet and connect it to the BAC valve inlet with a length of hose. Easy.

You could always drill and tap a nipple (brass) in to your pipe.

j-rat..how air tight would that be? Also, if I go the route of welding a nipple on...where can I buy an aluminum nipple to weld on? I have next to nothing for options around here to pick up such a thing, so I'll likely have to order it...it's said I know...but whatever. Does it have to be aluminum? I don't know what metals weld together...would a SS nipple weld onto aluminum piping?
