It looks like turbo lag would be terrible, but what do I know. I just thought it looked interesting

The people I know with turbo's have built it themselves...it's hard to buy an off-the-shelf turbo and have it fit your specific needs...

Do some more research...

look in the forced induction and search for rear mounted turbop or sts turbo there is a good argument as to wether it would work. The shop you got that from is a friend of mines...

That kit is so ghetto. Rear mounted Come on, there's a reason people been putting the turbo in under the hood for year's. I don't think you'll see any pro stock car's putting their turbo's in the rear of the car anytime EVER. Must be a reason.

What happen's when you drive in the rain and your air filter get's soaked with water? Or what happen's when someone see's your turbo in the rear of your car while driving behind you and follow's you home and decide's to jack your turbo? Not to mention that the kit doens't even come with injectors, fuel pump, no upgraded ignition, anything like that.

It's cool though some people are dumb enough to buy it that's why there are smart people getting rich off of stupid people
