for the most accurate boost your motor sees, . get it as close to the motor as posible, ,, hence at teh t/b is considered a good choice,
to get the boost the turbo is actually putiing out, you need to pull from the wastegate area,
,,
you lose boost press from the turbo to the pistons,

if you dont have an inter cooler, you most likely arent losing to much,
if you have an intercooler, you really want it on the cold side,
as that is much more accurate,
good luck,
or you can do it like mine,
i have one on the waste gate and one off the tb,
so i know iff i pop a hose, and always know how much press im losing, and can tell if the bov is working corectly,
