That is really quite a stupid place to mount a turbo imo, for numerous reasons.
It will generate much more heat than the surrounding parts can handle, as mentioned above.
Think about your radiator and thermo also.
Turbo blanket is a must, if you leave it there.
What exhaust manifold design/shape/length are you using?
The thing will take 500rpm longer to spool than a turbo mounted closer to the exhaust. Maybe longer, if thats just a long tube from the standard extractors!
Heat wrap the entire exhaust manifold to retain heat.
The intake is going to be so long, and the route doesnt flow well, and by the time you pass the hot air through your intercooler and back infront of the engine bay itll be hot again!
Or is the hot pipe passing around to the r/h side of cooler first?
This will create more heat into the engine bay. And still be longer than necessary.
Dont place an intake pod filter anywhere near that engine bay because it will be sucking in air so hot that intake temperature will still be nasty, even after ic.
Aesthetically speaking, its ugly as fuck!
Good luck chief.:cool:

Dude, props to you for the FI choice, but heaps of -ve points for Turbo location.
It is possible to mount the turbo at the exhaust manifold itself...

For example:

EDIT: A C.O.P kit from Rob_E30 will allow you more room; deleting the coil pack mounted on the wheel arch area. This way, you can jam a tubby in where it used to be.

What are you using for exhaust and intake manifolds?

mate no need to be rude hes giving it a go and i cants see any problems with it.

most fwd cars have turbo in the same spot and are alot tighter fit , with head sheilds and wrap it wont be a issue at all.

good luck looks good sumthing different to the usual.

Hi fellow aussie, was just my opinion, better to be harsh and realistic than have him listen to a sweetened version. He needs to rethink the design.
With factory turbo ff cars the turbo is mounted lower and heat shielded.
Being an east-west design there are less meltable parts along the block.
The exhaust header is directly over turbine housing-quick spool up.
They generally run top mount intercoolers or side mounts so the inlet path isnt 10 feet long.
I suggested a turbo blanket and heat wrap if he wants to persist, but the inlet and exhaust routes are terrible and unfixable with turbo in that location.
Remove the washer bottle and coilpacks. Mount it near the shock tower.

I don't have them, it's only a picture that I saved time ago because I was thinking to buy them.
The picture is about the ones from Technique Tuning, only picture I have about them.

intresting! it almost looks like the oposite of what is needed ... it looks like those adapters accept bigger orings then the big stock injectors...odd!
