IMO -- I would go pre turbo. If you do a search, you can do a lot of reading about PRE or POST turbo, that may give you more insight, Hope it helps.

pre turbo defanitely. it is more accurate, you need to monitor temps coming from the engine, not the turbo. the pre turbo location is much more accurate. do some searching.

Pre Turbo is the only way to go. I've done some testing on it. Read here:
