Whats the best way to hook up a manual boost controller?

I have mine set up so my manual boost controller is hooked up to my wastegate and turbo outlet. Is it better to hook it up to a Tee in the blow off valve and cap off the turbo outlet or what?

it depends on your mbc. some want it tee-d with the bov others want it on the compressor nipple. i have a perrin mbc and i installed it using an online instruction from another site for AMS mbc. but i should've followed the perrin instructions. AMS tees off the bov. perrin off the compressor nipple.

when i installed it teed off the bov. it would spike and/or not hold steady boost. i switched it to the compressor nipple and it was perfect.
