why not rear mount? I really dont have room up front for it unless i route it in front of my rad support. not digging that idea too much.
Stand the radiator up vertical. You can fit a huge T6 up there. Rear mounting a turbo puts it farther away from the heat source (engine). That leads to really slow spool, and poor throttle response. There is more pipe volume that needs to build pressure before the turbine wheel will spin. It's always an uphill battle.

That's the same engine and turbo you are talking about using. It's mounted off to the side, you can also mount it directly in front of the water pump.
