Question about recirculating BOV back into turbo

I have a Synapse Synchronic BOV that I picked up for a deal and decided to recirculate it back into the turbo inlet.

My question is do I need to ensure that it hits the center of the turbo or does it matter if it's off-center? Would that imbalance the wheel? Would it be better to angle it so it's putting the air more in the direction the wheel will be spinning? (not sure if that makes sense haha) Here is how I'm going to have it run...

...through the front of this filter...

I also have a question about vacuum routing for this. It needs to read off of the IC piping near the turbo, would it be OK to split it off the line going to the boost controller solenoid (which I currently am doing but I'd rather not do to be honest) or do they need to have dedicated lines?
