Normal location is in the unused M8 boss at the upper rear of the left hand block, beneath the front of the intercooler.
If you don't have aircon you can mount it above the no. 2 piston, which is a more sensitive location, although you'll need an M10 fine to M8 adapter made up.

Inlet manifold works well too.
People still using 90s KnockLinks?

Not as well as bolted directly to the block.

Transmission noise is less of an issue when fitting to the inlet manifold with something less sophisticated like the knocklink.
You beat my KS3 reply with your quick edit
Best device on the market.
