Default Which IAT sensor? Where did you mount it?

Which IAT sensor are you turbo guys using? I'm thinking everyone is using a screw in type and welding a bung in the pipe. GM part numbers helpful.
Where are you mounting them? Any Pictures?

Not a turbo guy, but...this is what I did.
Only difference is I used a BWD sensor and connector from O'Reilly:
WT382
PT778
