I have seen the DD fitted between the BCS and the actuator. Imho, the BCS becomes redundent and the shorter the hose run the better.
There's always more than one way to skin a cat. You can start from its neck or its *rs*. Your own way of connecting the Dawes is perfectly legit, but the other option has some advantages.
The reason you'll have seen some people connect the valve between the T-piece and wastegate actuator is that it allows the boost solenoid to continue to exercise some control - which can be handy as far as driveability and fuel efficiency is concerned, as well as if your turbo is incapable of sustaining whatever boost level you've set at higher engine speeds.

I have my DD fitted in place of the BCS so no pill needed.
Basically this:

So you're saying disconnect the two hoses from bcs and put Dawes device in place of it? And then I presume just leave electrical plug plugged in the bcs to avoid cel? Or do you mean to take out t piece and put Dawes device in-between actuator and turbo?

Just as per the diagram. Remove existing pipework from between the actuator and the turbo then re-fit with the DD fitted in line. There sould be nothing else in the line. Yes, leave electrics connected.
