Rear mounted turbos are a last resort effort. They are inefficient, long piping that create more lag, and will perform worse. They usually end up costing the same. The reason why people stop at 8 psi or so is because 8 psi will generate over 400 rwhp to the wheels. That's getting close to the limit. I'm going to push 8-9 psi. The internals can only hold so much. Most mainly comes from the tune but that can only go so far.
Yes. Turbos can be babied and you can stay out of boost. Many see an INCREASE in mpg around town. They just have a light foot.

I am against on3. Sure the pricing is great but I'll pass. He uses a cheap turbo, waste gates, springs, and watch out for his weldings to crack within a year or 2. Why pay for something twice? People have good luck with them others have bad. Their v bands sucks to. I don't want to bash his product. I'll leave it there. All I'm saying is that he was banned from turbo mustangs for a reason. If it were me I'll pass.
lol.
