closer to the throttle body will give you better response time, right before the maf if you have one, and the vac. hose behind the throttle body..

OK this is not a great pic but look at the bottom pic that's under car, all the way forward you can see it. It sits at about 10 o-clock to the inside of the pipe facing the engine. http://www.ststurbo.com/ls1_installation_pics

I plan on doing this kit, and it will be my first turbo on a car worth having one. Where can I place this bov so people can hear it best? (didn't mean to hi-jack thread, just figured it really wasn't worth a whole thread for myself to ask a dumb question.)

Thanks public. Thats where I was planning on putting it. As loud as my turbo is Im not really worried about how loud it is though. I bought a turboXz blow off. The loudest one they make. Heres the link to it http://www.turboxs.com/shop_prod.php?what_category=2

Yep your right noise wont matter with that valve, it will be far louder than the turbo.
