Greddy FMIC BOV placement

Ok ive searched. and read. and now i want a guru to pipe up and let me know the truth.

Im installing my greddy FMIC tommorrow. (new type). I need to have my BOV welded to a pipe.

Do i put the bov on the last pipe (by the TB) or on the first pipe (by the compressor)?? ive read arguments for each and im confused :/

also, i am currently using the hks ssqv bov, with the fc3s adaptor flange. When i get the bov welded, do i weld the flange on, or remove it and weld the BOV itself?

thanks for putting up with my newb questions :P

Put it up by the TB. And you weld the flange on..not the BOV itself.

if you put it over by the compressor it's better for turbo life, and closer to the tb will be better for response after shifts, but mroe turgo damage done. also by the compressor it'll be louder. if you care...
