another rear mount on the market

It's on ebay...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...3ARTQ%3AUS%3A1

It's a rear mount with t3/t4 setup. I sent them an email about the turbo selection and they basically responded they built this for a stock car with not too much boost. They buy it now was $1800. Posting for reference here.

Lag and backpressure are already a problem with a T4, going to a T3/T4 is going to be even worse. The hp will drop quickly.....

Rear mounts are the way to go. Ask any of the fast guys and they'll tell you. I hear that all the turbo cars in the 6s and 7s are switching to rearmounts next year so they can go 1s and 2s.

I don't see how. That means that someone would have a patent for all front mounts as well.

What? You haven't heard? All of the Big 3's diesel trucks are going to have the turbo mounted on the roof in '08.

Is that for increased airflow to the turbo, or more downforce on the truck?
