I heard about a rear mounted turbo for new edges long ago. I never heard anything else though.

i personally dont know any mustang owners with any, but my cousin has an sts rear mount on his 383stroked lt1 and it makes crazy power, but tons and tons of typical turbo problems....my opinion not worth it

Theyre called STS turbo system. I know a guy with one on his 06 GT. It makes crazy good top end power but the turbo lag is like a diesel truck. It only makes 420 rwhp too[>:] which is interesting becuase most guys around here with s/c 05+ mustangs make 500 rwhp all day long

there are always two sides to the story...

negatives....
LAG
intercooler? you cant run much boost without it (see below)
oil or coolant lines?
boost level?

positives...
less clutter in engine bay
less heat.... so is an intercooler a must?

i know a guy that has one and he said that with the rear mount you dont need a cooler cuz the long piping to the turbo acts as one
