The short answer is front mount, if you are going to the effort of putting on a turbo. The long answer is if you are able to make it fit.

There is no short answer... It all depends on what you will be doing. I went top mount because it is easier and would not get full of mud

I've heard that if u put it frint mount it blocks ur radiator. From good airflow increasing the risk of overheating the engine, is this true??

Only if your radiator is not doing its job properly. If your radiator is good you should be fine.
