It can be done either way.
Obviously the pre-turbo is going to be reading the actual temp of the
exhaust as it comes out of the exhaust ports ..and
gives  a faster more immediate reading in my experience.
Post turbo ..
perhaps 5 inches downstream ..
like it might read a couple hundred degrees F lower  there..
and it's sort of a 'softer' or more spread out reading ..

I saw egt specs for an AAZ engine somewhere once..
official vw specs..
it was so many degrees C measured so many millimeters after the turbo. fwiw.

either way works ..
just as long as you know how to make good use of the information you're
seeing.
