I would think same as the turbo outlet, unless you are going to get crazy with the bends. What size turbo are you using?

sts does go over the axle........But almost everyone relocates it to route under the axle for improved flow with minamal loss in ground clearance.

I think it also goes down the driver side channel under the door frame, were subframe conectors would otherwise go.

I would say, the LT4 hot cam will have too much valve overlap for the turbo to work right. The long tube headers will cause the exhaust gas to cool too much to make the turbo work right. You will need to retune the car. Were is the list of parts for the turbo? What are you going to do about the PCV system? MAP sensor? Injectors? Fuel pump? How much boost are you looking for? How do you plan to cool the intake air charge? Intercooler or methonal? Were are you planing to get the lubricating oil for the turbo? How do you plan to get it back to the engine? Were do you plan to dump it back into the engine? What are you planing to do to make the power brakes work right? There are a lot of things to consider. Tell us your expected goals, what have you taken into consideration as of yet, and give use the list of parts you have already gathered up.
