I usually put about 6 - 9 inches up over the turbo, but we also do a surge tube. Which is like you make the tube longer than it needs to be and then let the exhaust connect to the exhaust in the middle. That lets the surge go down and hit the end of the tube instead of climbing it. Does that make sense?
