Default Bypass Valve Location ....

I have seen people mount before the intercooler and after the intercooler up by the throttle body. If the bypass valve is vented to the atmosphere wouldnt you want it to vent before the intercooler to keep from heating the intercooler up on air that will not be fed to your engine?

Yep...also its there to protect your turbo/blower, so I'd put it as close as possible to it.

I put it close to the turbo before the intercooler. It keeps the hot air from soaking up the IC as well.
