Default BOV Location

Hey guys, was curious of your thoughts on the best place to mount my BOV for my STS kit, ive heard its best to mount as close to the Intake as possible so ive been planning on putting it about 6 or so inches from the intake, but after seeing lots of pictures from STS and other kits mounting the BOV before or just after the intercooler im beginning to wonder whats best. Any info is help to me! thanks a lot!

I have mine before the intercooler. I do not see the point of pushing the charge through the intercooler if it is not going to go into the engine.
