Default Any gains to be had by relocating BPV closer to turbo hose?

while installing my fmic this weekend i noticed that my bpv is in the old style location, up high near the middle of the engine, not right near the turbo-to-intercooler hose. Are there any gains to be had from moving it so it is right next to the turbo hose?

I also noticed that the shop that put my bailey valve in a long time ago installed it so the side oposite the fitting for the vacumn hose is seeing boost. I beleive the side piece (if the bpv is a T then the side piece is the base of the T) should be getting boost? Should I switch that as well?

you would have better response time if it were closer to the throttle plate.
