there are advantages and disadvantages, the intake charge stays cooler because the charge has so far to go, mine are very close to ambient at full boost=impressive, easier to mount, weight over the rear tires or in the rear in general will be better for performance. disadvantages are oil has to be pumped back, generally you have to use a smaller exhaust housing because it is so far away to keep it from being laggy (although there are people running 9s with .68 housings).

for me i decided it would be my best option and at this point i am very satisfied, i feel a big difference, have annihilated a couple cars i would either not come close to or were dead even with, and every body i take for a ride asks me to build a kit for their car so......... im pleased, now just waiting to have some numbers to show you guys.
