Yeah, tubular turbo manifolds look similar to the upper portion of a header, but thats where the similarities end. A turbo bolts onto a 02 housing that bolts onto a turbo manifold. All of this goes where a header would go, so you can't have both.

some v8 guys use a rear mounted turbo (i havent seen many on honda apps)
sts make a turbo kit that is rear mount.
so it "IS" possible to have a header and a turbo

I've seen those before. They claim to have very little lag, but I'm skeptical about hanging a turbo back by my gas tank and so far away from the engine.

I have seen them on trucks, was looking at them for my four runner at one time, but this also scared me, see to vulnerable where they put the turbo

when in fact it was a legit question
just wanted to show some people up and help someone out

I hadn't even thought about that, but I explained up there anyway. On our cars you can't have both. I haven't really inspected one of the rear turbo setups on anything else, but I wonder if the "header" would still techincally be a turbo manifold because it's got a turbo attached to it.

There was also the original TurboRex kit for 84-87 Civics/CRXs which mounted the turbo up behind the back side of the engine, so yes there IS a setup which uses both a header AND a turbo. Of course finding one is harder than finding a virgin in Vegas, and they don't fit anything 88+.

could you imagine running an n'a header, mounting a turbo at the end of the collector, and then having a pump feed the oil back to the pan?
not a rear turbo system, but would make the car a sleeper for sure

I can't remember the technical term for those rear mounted setups. I remember reading about how you don't need to run an intercooler since the loooong pipe running to the back kind of acts as an IC. I've seen it on a camaro. Pretty nice... just looks like a strange dual exhaust.

They are made by a company called STS i think, they released a kit for the type R a while back but have yet to see someone with the kit.

i imagine the oil pressure drop over that long of a line would also hurt the return. Eletric pump assist?

They have their own seperate oiling system.
