Neither of you is actually fully listening or perhaps comprehending what the other is saying.
Intake (the part mounted to the head of the motor)
Turbo Inlet, pre-turbo (pointless and not at all related to BOV, either mounting or operation)
Just before the TB Inlet (on the IC piping, while yes it is closer to the turbo geographically speaking, from a plumbing point of view it is infact far closer to the TB followed by the intake which is what is important here. Not it's location in the engine bay relative to the Turbo or anything else)
Both of you take a deep breath and be nice. The original poster here has different goals and intents for his car and agree or disagree it is his right to choose. Right or wrong, but from a "correct" setup hvyman is correct. Personally I agree with locating it nearest the TB on the IC piping. I don't re-circ myself, but I am also running MAP not MAF.
It seems to me that to get it to recirc correctly it would be a major PITA to do so if the BOV is mounted all the way down and away like just prior to the IC.
So....OP if you are determined to do it that way, then go for it.....it's your right. But it should be after thinking through what some of the other users have said and the downfalls and problems associated with such a relocation.
If you choose to move it and don't recirc it like it is setup now then you will more than likely see stalling/other issues due to the lost air that was metered into the system but as far as your ECU is concerned "disappeared" somewhere unknown. After escaping from your BOV.
