Rear mounted turbo

[midge]

surely this will make massive lag?

You'd be surprised I think. Julian @ Balance Motorsport has done this to a few motors, by all accounts no more lag than usual.

FLOL - that looks shocking

A lot of the big power BMW turbo's run those setups.

Edit, like so - http://www.carscoops.com/2007/02/currency-motors-twin-turbocharged-bmw.html

It maybe fast etc, but my god it looks sh*t!

It's an interesting concept.
You need a very well sealed exhaust and you have to accept it will run hotter the whole length.
The plus side is that EBP in the manifold during exhaust pulses is a lot lower due to the increased volume before the turbo.

I've seen that on a 205gti before, in a mag. Pros and cons exactly like Chip said.

Been discussed on the merc forum, massive amount of steam when it's raining from hot turbo, electric oil pump feeding turbo which has a warning light when it fails? But apparently it's to late by then, also mega lag.

oh and it looks like a proper abortion of a job.

We had a yank with a Dodge Charger SRT with twin rear mounted turbos. It wasn't slow, around 700bhp
