After the turbo. You can't put it before, because the increased back pressure it will affect the reading.

yes
IT is in the REAR. You will need to extend your wideband harness

BEHIND THE TURBO! anywhere after that is good, though not to close to the end of the tail pipe, that will skew your reading too...

I think 12-18" after the turbo is what is suggested.
