Default Where to put the turbo...any ideas?

Well, I have half of a PTK LT1 kit.(headers,crossover and forward pipe, that comes out to right after the sway bar on the passenger side.) I can either buy the rest of the kit and mount it in front of the engine, or I can fab up the rest of it and put it somewhere else. The car has powersteering and thats about it. No ABS,no AC, no HVAC and ill be removing the swaybar for even more room. I was thinking about putting it where the battery goes, but I dunno how im going to route the DP, Id have to go all the way across the engine and have it go out where the normal PTK kit exits. Anyone got any ideas or suggestions? BTW the turbo is a TC76

I did something completely different and mounted mine in front of the radiator. I did not have any cooling problems, even in 100 degree heat.
