That\'s the same take-off from the turbo Y-pipe as I use for my dump valve take off, mate, so should be a problem. IIRC that\'s where the stock BOV is plumbed from, only difference being it vents into the airbox rather than atmosphere like your HKS one. Doesn\'t have to be on the IC run, it\'s still pressurised, it\'s fine. In theory it should give a tiny bit quicker recover of boost where it is, not that you\'d ever notice
