Default DF Conversion Turbine Mounting

I have just got hold of a PJP Eurofighter. I am still at the planning stage at the moment.

It is the turbine version of the kit that was originally designed for DF power. I think the only difference is that it comes with a rather nice twin walled metal tail pipe. The inlet ducts look to be the standard DF Epoxy ducts.

I am planning on using a Wren 54 (possibly Mk3)

My questions are.

Where do I mount the turbine? How far behind the inlet duct should the engine be? Should the tailcone of the engine be inside or in front of the tailpipe?

Should I use a bypass? Will it be of benefit to do so?

Do I need to heat protect the rear of the Epoxy fuselage?

Thanks
