What would make more power and throtte response?

Just wondering what the consensus is on these two designs in respect to power and response only.

Front mount by FAR has potential to make more power and better response.

Without a doubt, the front mount! The gasses will loose more heat in a rear mount hence decreased spool........ Whoever tells you diffrent doesnt know jack! The STS works but if rear mount were the way to go then all these other turbo companies would be making one.

IMO the STS system has gained popularity only because of its cost, and ease of making your car look like a sleeper under the hood.

The reality is that when compared to the front mount kits, the STS system is a joke.
