You can also tap the boost controller into the line that runs to your BOV. The best place for the MBC would be a preasure fitting on your turbo's compressor housing or outlet elbow if it has either of those.
Wouldn't it be better to pull it from the port labeled "P" on the throttle body or at the BOV? Because if you have a bigger intercooler it would take longer for the IC to fill up and you would actually be running lower than expected boost for that time. Or is that amount of time neglegible? Pressure response from a reference on the compressor housing would be accurate only of pressure there, where a reference from somewhere close to the throttle plate would be accurate for the entire piping route including IC.
Just a thought.
