You can put the BOV before the intercooler, alot of the cutting edge company's out there are actually making the kits with the BOV before or actually on the Endtank of the Intercooler. The advantage of this that you are relasing the pressure closer to the Turbo so there is no surging at all on the compressor wheel, as there still can be some pressure reverted back to the Turbo with the BOV closer to the TB.
I hope that helps you out.

Hell if I know. I'm not up on Turbo kits and such. I'm still learning. But someone said before, I'm pretty sure, that it had to be before the MAF because if it's after the MAF it's not getting the proper reading on the air going into the engine.

Well the MAF is on the Intake portion (Before the turbo), and what your talking about jeremy is that people say you have to dump the air from the BOV back in the intake after the MAF, as the car will run rich if the BOV vents to the atmosphere since the MAF has already calculated for that air.
