First off I have never done this nor do I probably even know what i am talk about but here goes.
I am assuming you already have the turbo setup and are using some kind of tuning software to manage your setup. You would need to install the nozzle after the turbo and intercooler (if you are running one) but before your IAT and or MAF assuming your are blowing through your MAF. You regulate it just like any other setup, with different size jets that let a certin about of nitrous flow or some sort of progressive controller.
If you are using it to just spool the turbo you will need to use a rpm window switch and a throttle position switch to activate it only at wot. That way you can bring it on early but not too early in order to spool it. Say 2500 to 3500 or what every depends on your setup.
If it is a dry N2O shot you have to tune in the extra fuel with your tuning software. If it is a wet shot then you shouldnt have to account for extra fuel in your tune but make sure your fuel system is up to it and that nozzle for the N2O & fuel mixture should probably go after the MAF and IAT and just before your throttle body.
Welp..... I will let the experts pick this apart. Your question was a little vague and I though you might not get many people responding and I am a little buzzed so i figured WTH I will chime in.

You spray the nitrous into the engine like normal. Nitrous will obviously make more power and cause the RPMs to go up quicker. Exhaust flow is what spools a turbo, so by getting the RPMs up quicker you are creating more exhaust, which in turns spools the turbo. The faster you can get the RPMs up the faster the turbo will spool.
Listen to a nitrous car when it activates nitrous.

N2O basically puts more O2 in to the cylinders than the engine could on its own. You obviously need to add more fuel to this extra O2 and this results in a bigger bang. THis bigger bang means you end up with a greater volume of exhaust gas and its at a hotter temp. Greater exhasut gas volume helps the turbo to spool sooner as dose the added heat.
obviously this needs to be setup and tuned for!

I have mine setup for this purpose. You install it like any other nitrous system. With a dry setup you put it with nozzle facing TB blade 6" before the TB. I have mine setup to turn on at 85% throttle (when armed) and turn off at 8psi of boost. I have yet to use it but should make the 106 come online in an instant on the street.

This one has both, one lead that is normally closed and one that is normally open.
