i currently have mine before the turbo, right before the exhaust goes over the axle... but i have already killed 2 sensors because of the exhaust pressure. i am planning on relocating it after the turbo, like he said

Depends on whether you have a temp or permanent O2. For my LM-1, I have it in the exhaust pipe by the passenger's door. It is easy to reach and to run the cable to my LM-1. If I had a permanent O2, I would mount the sensor after the turbo like everyone else has mentioned. It will last the longest in that location.
