I have heard to be as close to the throttle body as possible, but have seen many professional companies do it completely different ways. Malitude had one just before the intercooler, and that system was designed by Mark Stielow, Wheel to Wheel, and Nelson Racing Engines. My GTO twin turbo had it after the intercooler, before the throttle body, but 2 feet or more from the tb. I honestly am not sure that it's a big difference where it is as long as it's there somewhere.

The boost pressure in the system from the turbos to the throttle body will be basically equal (short of intercooler restrictions and pressure drop) so as long as it's vented somewhere in there and as long as it's properly sized for the turbos/airflow it'll work fine in my opinion.
