ATS 085 and ATS 088 had it there, and by "snail" you mean the odd exhaust housing casting, not the intake plenum (also frequently referred to as a "snail"). It is not a great location, but in all fairness it is the same as the banks kit since the up pipe pedestal slip fits into one side of that exhaust casting. The probe is still pre-turbo just above the joint in the up pipe. That said, it is still not nearly as good as a measurement from the manifold and if you use it just know the reading is low. The ATS 093/factory turbo had no provision for a probe.
Yep, that's what I'm talking about. I have the 088.

I put mine in the drivers side exhaust manifold between the #7 and 8 cylinders. I did it with the engine out, but I can see it plain as day from the underside of the motor. I bet with some ingenuity you could do it with the motor in. FWIW Harbor freight sells a three piece NPT tap set wit 1/8, 1/4, and 3/8 thread sizes that worked fine in the soft exhaust manifold for around 20 bucks.
Good luck,
