Default Intake Air Temperature Sensor Location

Hi Guys,
Where would you recommend mounting the intake air temperature sensor?
Its a turbo engine so would need to be after the intercooler. In the Vipec manual it says the following..

"on a turbocharged/supercharged engine the sensor must be placed AFTER turbocharger and any inter-cooler.
On most applications (both naturally aspirated and turbocharged) the recommended mounting position is in the inlet pipe just before the throttle plate. The sensor may also be placed in a section of the inlet manifold that is subject to high airflow."

It would be easier for me to put it in just before the throttle body but if its better elsewhere i can look at doing so.

Cheers

Mine is in the hardpipe between the tb and intercooler. I've always been told basically the same as it says in your manual so done them that way.

as above, would be spot on.
which reminds me to get a boss sorted to move mine as it suffers heat soak loads in the manifold.
