RE: front or rear mount turbo system

i dont think there is any room in the rear to put a turbo... but by adding the turbo in the back you cool the air down quite a bit.. but lose about 1-2 psi

REAR MOUNT TURBO SYSTEMS SUCK!!!!
They have soooooo many problems. Oil feed and return, turbo lag, pressure drop
I've been up close and personal with a couple of rearmount twin kits
and they are nothing but trouble. My tuner has a twin STS corvett in their
shop for about 2-3 months now, thing is a total piece of crap according to them.

They also used to be one of the first STS dealer/installers and were almost
sued several times before they dropped that crap like a rock.
