Just put it on the hotpipe, there are other places you can put it but thats the easiest.

closer to the throttle body the better, if you are recirculating its a pain to have it close to the TB because the return has to cross the engine, but if you are venting it doesnt matter and will be best on the coldpipe, you want the air to vent closest to where the blockage is, the blockage is your closed throttle body, that way you wont have air going back and forth through your intercooler piping. oh yea, i would recommend recirculating also, you wont have issues with stalling, and you can still have the bov noise, just not as loud.
