it should have a probe, a bung and a gauge.........weld bung to exhaust, put probe in bung, run wires to gauge and mount the gauge where you like or can fit it.

personally i would say between the turbo and the o2 gauge

the further away from the turbo - you stand a chance of the gas's cooling and not getting a TRUE reading

The most accurate spot will be between the mani and the turbo. If you mount it there there’s always a chance it may break off and go thru the turbo
