Default IAT sensor placement

Im guessing its after BOV but before TB? Also is it ok to mount on the side of the pipe as opposed to the top? Thanks.

Mine's mounted on the side of the pipe a little in front of the BOV which is right in front of the intake It seems to be very accurate from the scanning I've done so far.

I have mine just befor the bending coupler going into the intake. I'll send you pics if you pm me your email or phone number.

Mine pulls hard on 5lbs. And this torquer v2 seems to like boost just fine.

Pics or description of location on intake please...up by where egr is normally mounted or back by Map? Thinking about it, it'd be easy to epoxy it in the egr spot...right?
