Make a bypass. put a T under the conveyor, then 90 deg bend, then booster, 90 deg bend back under the conveyor to a T. Do this every so often down the length of the conveyor. You can also put a straight pipe after the booster before the bend to take a meter. I've included a screen shot, see below.

A slight variation on a theme. Before and after.

Klandor also has a variation using a riser conveyor that is an inline option.

I place the Pressure Tank INLINE with my Conveyor line, but place a T-Pipe, pointed up BEFORE the Pressure Tank, an Elbow Connected with the T-Pipe, and a Straight Pipe with a Cork over the top of the Pressure Tank. I then let the Dirt drop off the end of the Straight Conveyor placed on the Straight Pipe... I'll get a screenshot that displays what I mean, but it may take a few hours.
Didnt think i could put a belt on a bend. Ty all.

Yep, you can place a Vertical Conveyor on an Elbow. You just have to make certain that the Pipe doesn't stick through the Conveyor. As @prtmh shows in his images, the Conveyor can also have Elbow Pipes that go off to the Side or downward, but not upward, or the Pipe will cause issues on the Conveyor. So, similar to the second and third image, posted above, if you have room below your conveyors (even into the T3 Dirt Layer that you may or may not have tools to dig into), you could have it go downward instead of sideways. I'd recommend against downward, though, because getting a Shard or Shard Bar into a vertically placed Pressure Tank is a PITA. It CAN be done, but you have to press and HOLD the E key to go into Place mode, and then rotate the Bar via the R, T, and/or Y keys, until you get it aligned correctly that when you release the Shard/Shard Bar, it falls INTO the Pressure Tank and not out.
