On the alternator side is the only way that makes sense.
The purpose of the factory ammeter is to show the amount of charging or discharging of the battery. If additional equipment is placed on the battery side, then the ammeter readings won't be very useful.
The extra ballast should be wired correctly, I’ll retrace the wires to be sure. All I did was flip the connectors upside down using the correct pins/sides and used jumpers to the new .8 ballast.
The ballast resistor should be matched to the coil and to a lesser extent the ECU.
P-part orange box and Blaster 2 is probably should have either .5 Ohms or .8 Ohms resistor in circuit branch directly feeding the coil. Not both.
