Hi guys and gals.
Has anybody thought about or looked into rear mount turbo systems?
I have been looking at the one from Squires and I must admit that I am intrigued.

| yeah, i imagine the lag on those with a 4 cyl would be unbearable. im not all that crazy about having the piping hanging down under that car like that either. hit a bad bump and time to call triple A. |

| If you have the space in the engine bay, why not just go for a regular set up? It will be more efficient, no worries on sucking water or anything through the turbo. Given it will be less unique, but in the long run, especially if this will be your DD, a better bet. |

| Ummmm exactly. There is no room in the engine bay without major mods moving batteries and modding the headers etc. This setup is a lot easier. |

I would love to see it. Can you pm me with any contact info (with the owner's permission of course)?
It is highly likely we will be doing a feature on the STS turbos in the first edition of HyperCarZ and I would love to include it with that feature.
Thanks |
