any word on rear mount turbo setup
#12
the only doubt i have is the scavgning of the exhaust pulses. in a remote setup the entire exhaust tract gets pressurized between 3 and 10 psi.. depending on the turbo exhaust a/r. but better flow is better flow.
also the exhaust event pulses get get blended and lessened when it passes through the catalytic converter. the pulses are there... they just aren't as bright.

Because they also have less energy. The equation for energy a turbine can extract includes incoming air pressure, temperature, and mass flow rate - but not, directly, the density. Less temperature will drop the air pressure and temperature while leaving the mass flow rate the same.

Although I have a rear mounted turbo, id have to agree with the nay says in that unless yu go the pump to push any decent sized turbo, front mount is the way to go wit a 4cyclinder. may be a V6 with a properly sized turbo. Its hard enough to get a rear mounted V8 to run efficiently with wrapping exhaust pipes, proper sized turbine that balances flow and spool without sacrificing to much power or drivability. I got a T76 on my LS1 trans am and spool doesn't kick in until about 3000rpm and I have a 3200 stall. I have the grunt of a V8 to make up that difference. I couldnt imagine trying to do the same with half the cylinders even with a smaller sized turbo. you would have to have something in the range of a 50mm turbo if not smaller just to have ay fun out of it.
