put it pre-turbo. and i like to use the rear runner into turbo as well. the rear three cylinders run a touch hotter than front three cylinders.

Or, stuff a rag in there and have a vacuum handy to clean everything up when you're done. Just don't forget to pull the rag out, leave a little hanging out.
That manifold gets hot pretty quick when it's running!
