My ideal is to locate the  turbocharger farther Down Stream of the exhaust manifold where's theirs  less  heat  and pressure to contend with .

The imperfect but sensible solution is to locate the turbo enough downstream from the engine so that postcombustion is complete, and the peak in EGT
passed, before the gases enter the turbine. Not too close to give the turbine a living chance......

I've been looking for a photo of a Paul Yaw turbo motor for an airplane on
floats.  He made a turned exhaust header (very compact) then mounted the
turbo on it.  It made lots of HP with minimal pressure.  I wish I had the
photo.

I have it Ernesto. Here is is. The airplane was never able to get on
the steps. Too big and heavy. The Ivo prop may have had something to
do with it as well as the 2.17:1 gear box. With a better prop and
a 2.8:1 gear box it might have worked.
