Rear mounted turbo's. Looks like a clusterfuck more then anything else. http://www.jlturbo.com/eyecandy.htm |

They've been doing that on trucks forever, but I can see it hurting spool tremendously. I'd like to see an all-other-factors-equal comparison dyno between that and a more traditional layout, I bet the traditional setup spools way faster. |

I think they're illegal in some sanctioned events. I'm not positive, though. |

its kinda a cool theory, but to me just doesnt seem practical SS |

they work pretty well on large displacement applications where the engine can spool the turbo (even a rather large one) without any difficulty... they even have some uses in smaller displacement engines that just don't have the ROOM for a conventional setup Of course a conventional setup is a more practical in most applications, there are advantages to this type of setup (when properly executed of course) in the right setup however -less underhood heat from the turbo -retention of stock exhaust manifold/header designs in applications like v6's/v8's that pose issues with traditional single turbo applications -low cost -easy install there are obvious disadvantages also -slower spool on smaller engines -higher throttled volume and increased pressure drop - location of turbo necessitates need to actually PUMP oil from the turbo oil drain back to the oil pan |
