What do you think of this?

 

its crap in every way

saw it in some other forum a while back

 

Interesting but inefficient IMO. I know NOTHING of turbo setups but it seems that a turbo that far back of the engine would have to exert a LOT more energy than a conventional design. Also, Turbo lag would be a b!tch .

 

Whoa........that is odd.
What could possibly be the advantage to that? Cost?
The biggest cost would be the turbo itself for a normal setup so I can't see saving much on that crap.

 

Doesn't someone make a shortie header with a turbo mount for a sbc?

 

not as far as i know

 

what alot of people dont understand is that you need alot of heat energy to spin up those things not just the exhaust force

 

the only advantage i can see with this setup is room.
it isn't very easy to fit a turbo in the engine bay, but in the rear there is alot of room.

it also makes it easy for someone to swipe an expensive turbo.
