Default How Turbo's Setup?

I have been trying to figure out how porsche did the Turbo setups in these cars.
I have looked at PET but it isnt really clear where the turbo is situated, and how it gets piped, exhaust, intake, etc.

Anybody have any good pictures or diagrams that explain it all?

I am surprised by the lack of aftermarket turbo setups available. (As in almost none?)

The factory turbo is physically located where your Catalytic converter.

Protomotive, Ruf, TTP and a few others provide turbo systems, but they are not cheap. There is also the custom route. I think S Car Go Racing and Imagine Auto either makes their own or uses a variation of the Protomotive setup. If you look on the turbo board, you will find the big players.
If you want one, they are available.

I can send you some pics of the TTP setup if you're interested.
