After. There is debate where but some are spraying at the elbow right off the turbo, some at the intake and some do both (me included).

if your using it for power, best if closest to the engine, in the intake. If your using it to control egts, it s best if injected in the hottest charge air, that being between the turbo and intercooler. That would remove the most heat since its the greatest temp difference.

My buddy Ben has an 01 2500 4x4 and his 250shot is right into the boot before the intake manifold.

Before the turbo would be scarry, if the tubro ever cames apart the sparks will set off the nos. that will be one loud bang.

Nitrous is non-flammable.

Don't inject the nitrous before the turbo. One thing you have to keep in mind, the turbine can spin up to 150,000 RPMs (over 2300 times a second) at full boogie. When little droplet of anything (nitrous in this case, this can also happen with water/meth injection) impacts the turbine blades, it will start to erode the surface of the blades. If after enough use, your turbo may be trown off balance and impact the housing and the turbo will no longer be useful.
