just dont like them because there is no reason to have it in the rear, unless you have a mid engine car.

just my opinion, im not saying it wont work.. just something i dont like.. with a full race car it isnt much as a concern as a street driven car though.

have you ever built or worked on a corvette with a 106mm turbo? how about twin 91mm turbo's?


If you were familiar with the newer corvette's at all you would understand as to why the turbo has to go in the rear. There is NO room in the front of the car. Also putting the weight in the back has its advantages.

Yup. Twin 60-1's with B covers are almost touching the frame on a customer's FRC

has to? haha nothing has to.

ive worked on countless c4's and c5's. there is room. it would have to be front mount. if you have to, its a drag car, stick it out of the hood like supras and others.

lingenfelter twin turbo c6. they found room for 2 big turbos in the c6..thats what youre doing...twins.

You posting that pic goes to show me you have no clue how big of a turbo i am talking about here. One of the units we are using are bigger then both of the ones on the car you posted. They have 6" inlets, 4" downpipes, , 4" charge pipes, an intercooler twice the size of that one pictured.
