Does it matter where you place the BOV, I mean does it matter whether its placed directly after the turbo or whether its place right before the intake... Just curious. I have seen it both ways, on the stock twins it had it right after the turbo before the IC and some singles I have seen it placed after the IC / before the intake

Take a look at Steves car, put it there (right before the TB). Probably the best place to put it.

There was a discussion on this before... the general consensus was the best place to put it is as close to the throttle body as possible. That way, there is little chance of the airstream changing direction and moving backwards from the TB to the BOV, which is bad because it would have to change direction AGAIN when the throttle is re-opened.

How come all manufacturers put the BOV near the turbo then? Wouldn't they have put it there for a reason instead of near the throttle body?

My guess is it makes it a lot easier to route the vented air back to the turbo inlet, since it's right there.

Yep, sounds exactly right to me.

Funny you ask, got my buddies V-8 FC going again last night. But the best part about was he let me take his 91 300ZX TT out for spin. Needless to say I really want to get my car going now! Supposidly it has 400bhp from all the BPU's that he has done to it. My *** print in the seat shows that estimate is about right. It's amazing how fast you can get up to 130mph in such a short distance
