It is the BOV. That was probably the easiest place for them to mount it. Actually location does not really matter. I have seen Corky Bell fit it in similar locations on car's that don't have space elsewhere.

Theoretically having the BOV closer to the throttle body means you have more air in the pipes before it closes and theoretically faster boost response. Theoretically.

2003 Club Sport
We found a white 114k, original owner, straight 2003 Club Sport with matching hard top on CL San Diego a few months back. The seller didn't include contact info. I used the embedded google map and google earth images to find a satellite pic of a white Miata parked on the street in front of a house.
Found the house on Zillow, got the names on the property title, googles the name and after many hours and dead ends, found the owner on Strava (online fitness tracking site). PM'd through Strava to buy the car. When we picked the white one up, we saw this identical red MCS (Miata Club Sport) with the next plate number in sequence parked next to the white one. Obviously bought and registered at the same time, his and hers Miatae. We made an offer for this red one, owner declined but said they might be wiling to sell in a few months. So we patiently pinged them occasionally for the next few months, keeping a secret of the fact that there was a twin to our white car that might be for sale. Got a text message last week, ready to sell. As before, we dropped what we were doing and blazed down to San Diego, about an hours drive south from our shop. Dan bought this red one. So now we have two identical, all original, straight one owner MCS in the 949 Racing family. Not stating the price but I can say that they were both ah, well below market value . Like my white one, the paint is hammered from neglect, but the body and chassis are straight. Interior dirty basically in perfect shape.
No plans for it other than a daily. 15x9 Tungsten, Tecnas when they're ready and that's about it.
