well, i guess since this is a turbo forum lol id hit up a forum for insight and ideas for my build to make sure ive got everything covered. Ive already got most of this build up on the LS sight for specifics on LS1's but just wondering for a more broad spectium of people to get more info.

first off, yes its a rear mounted turbo, no it is not an STS system so if you feel you need to get the "rear mounted turbos suck" outta your system... go do it somewhere else. its already been proven with the right amount of work and research that a rear mount can perform, very well. YES a front mount is mroe efficent. GOT IT... blah blah blah...
