old news....

his turbo setup is what i'm planning for my car.
ststurbo.com - read more about it there. low boost, around 0.4 to 0.8 bar, but its good enough for a fat torque curve thumbup.gif

yeah curious to know why too

1) by mounting behind, there should be pressure lost by the time it reached behind
2) u cant see the glory unless u lift the car tongue.gif

1) the only thing that changes is the exhaust Ve = pressure. Air mass, however is retained. (of course what, since the engine is pumping the same amount of air in)
benefits include lower turbo temperatures and lower charged air intake temp (since the charge pipes also act somewhat as a heatsink, think heatpipe)

2) there's no glory involved until you beat a 600bhp saleen mustang without him knowing biggrin.gif that's what i call sleeper.

hey, is that the CAT? and silencer? huh? how do the exhaust gas push up the turbine blades if there's restriction? and why is the compressed air is routed to the rear? huh.gif

I cant imagine if this car were driven in the rain.. ouch.

the cat is still located at the eader, and since the turboes are AFTER the cat, it passes emmisions regulations in claif and florida. there is no compressed air routed to the rear, in fact, the compressed air comes from the rear.

purpotedly, the turboes run cooler, hence even there's a standing pool of water like what you get in KL roads and on the north south highway, there's no damage, like what you get when splashing (not to be confused with drenching) water on a hot cast-iron manifold
