Thanks for the pics kuntzie that **** is legit man, looking good!

I didn't know that you answering my questions meant I would get owned...

Thank you, very helpful info for me. As you can tell by my lack of knowledge on the subject, cars are just a hobby for me and obviously a bit more for you. As I've never had a turbo or even looked into seriously getting one I've never researched them just always thought the idea of a rear mount was interesting. Then figured kuntzie might be a good guy to ask a couple questions that just seemed like they might work... And since your such an expert maybe you could own me again by sending me a pm about twin charging, which is the only reason I was ever interested in a rear mount anyway. Cause it too seemed pretty interesting and "like it might just work"

The "cooler charge" idea is also dumb, because after pushing air through a maze of tubes over that long of a distance, the turbo is going to have to work harder to get the same amount of air to the front, which will increase the temperature of said air. An intercooler in ANY turbo setup would have a massive cooling property compared to any "long series of tubes".



"boost drop" does not exist, due to the fact that you pick what boost you want to see at the intake manifold. Any "drop" you may see is going to be caused by resistance via surface tension or turbulence. "lag" is created by the fact that your exhaust has lost 20-40% of its energy by the time it has gotten back to the turbo.

Thanks again, very good info.

Like I said, manuals are more fun... Plus I'm a pretty decent fabricator and could build some brackets like the ones he made fairly easily. And no, nothing on his level as far as a clutch like that, just a simple one that works or maybe a stage 1. I'll be lucky to even hit 300whp with my build in the works even with n2o. So to summarize I could easily do this for the cost of built trans with me making the brackets, a used trans, lower end clutch, shop down the street making my axles, and then the parts to put the pedal and shifter linkages in...
