Intercooler questions
After reading Joe's "boost sag" stickied thread a few times I just want to make sure I am doing it right. Just to start off I will give my setup details. ARTech hotside, Tial 38mm MV-S that is VTA, 3" downpipe, MSPNP MSII board, with a chinacharger. Right now I do not have a MBC, later down the road I was planning on either buying one or attempting to make my own. I don't really want to mess with that right now. So in his diagrams there are points A, B, and C. My first question is, even with no MBC should I still pull the wastegate signal at point B (before TB)?
Also my second and third questions regard my BOV and AIT sensor. I want to install both of those onto my intercooler endtank, on the "cold side." There are no major reasons why I want to do this, I just want to. I think I read putting the AIT sensor there will help if you have heatsoak issues. Are there any issues as far as the BOV is concerned being placed there?
Thanks for help with my questions, my first turbo'd car.

Well I thought about asking if I could just tap the tank, but I don't know how thick it is. It will be my first step. If that is the case could I do the same thing with the BOV, if its a two bolt style flange, just tap the tank and mount it directly onto it. I think that would be a little more difficult because of the size. I will look into both of those.
I pulled the source for my boost gauge and MS after the throttle body, I know the MS install instructions say to pull off one of the nipples used for cruise control. And I figured getting the boost reading from the manifold would be ideal because that is what the engine is actually seeing. Is this the right thinking?
