I recently read an article in a Camaro magazine "I know what the hell am i doing reading a Camaro mag" but here in Kuwait Pontiac mags are scarse :P
Any how the article was talking about a rear mounted turbo kit that was being marketed by some one. And by rear mounted I mean in the back of the car under the trunk pan. The car made 313 rwp before the turbo and 462 hp after the addition of the turbo kit, and a reprogramed turbo computer.
My question is has anyone tried a setup like this with our traditional pontiacs. I know it would allow you to continue to run your a/c compressor, and you could use most of your existing exhaust includng headers and such, not to mention not having to make brackets to relocate any other components under the hood.
You could even set up a twin turbo setup if you were running dual exhaust just run one pipe to each turbo. The only thing you would have to do would be to run one return pipe back to the carb, and that would seem like it would take up alot less room nunder the hood than a twin turbo set up, the only down side i can see to this is that your turbos might take a licking from road debris and such.
I know i have read some where that your turbos should be mounted as close to the engine as poss. By this I mean as close to the exhaust gasses as they are leaving the engine.
How can running the turbo in the rear work so well.
Anyone have any comments on this?>
Mike
