You do not need to worry about "keeping a blower cool". Most modern turbochargers, or "blowers" as you've called them, often a term reserved for superchargers, have the CHRA cooled with water. Turbo placement is much more critical when it comes to the air it will be ingesting. As far forward and clear of obstruction and heat sources as possible. The most efficient way to feed a single turbo is facing forward out the front of the car, with a velocity stack right on the inlet. This isn't the most feasible for a daily driven car mind you, as it means placing it in the grill, or removing a headlight, and becomes difficult to filter the incoming air from contamination and debris. More to my point, your steering rack has very little to do with the turbo itself, moreover, the exhaust manifold routing to spin the turbine.
