Also, the exhaust gas going to the turbine will be extremely hot, hotter than usual because the exhaust pipe is shorter than normal, so the gas won't have that much time to cool.
I guess placing the turbos on top will get more cool air flow than placing it packed within the engine bay. This might resolve the heat soak issue.
