STRIPPER TURBO!!! Updated with pics on first post!
there not the first to do this. sts turbos does it with corvettes. i heard the lag isnt that bad. also you gotta think how much colder the exaust gas will be when it finnaly hits the turbo. that will probably extend the life of the turbo quite a bit.

With so long of intake and exhaust tubes, doesn't it take a while for the boost to build up?
No, our intake tubing volume is about the same as most conventional turbo setups that are running a front mounted intercooler, and less than many of them that run large intercoolers. We aren't talking about a small compressor filling up a large air tank, we are talking about a huge compressor filling up a very small volume which only takes a fraction of a second. Our systems compress the intake tubing in about .05 seconds. So much for turbo lag...

Whats the logic behind this rear mount???
Is it just so you don't have to design a turbo manifold?
How do you keep the oil flowing through? I picture the oil having to flow up hill to the oil pan.

I've been wanting to see a remote mount turbo for the tC. The best part is you can keep the cats and stay [somewhat] legal here in California. Keep it sleeper and no one knows 'til they get pwned.

As for the oil.. a Scavenge pump is used to dispurse the oil
