I went through exactly the same thing when building our en-suite. It 
seems that while it is possible to position the boss at the side, it is 
not a good idea. There's just too much chance of ickyness in case of a 
blocked soil pipe.

In the end, I put mine in through the top. This meant I had to raise the 
floor by a total of 14", which is just about right for 2 steps up.

If possible
run it outside then go into the vertical soil pipe at the side
