Heres the concept: Insted of the turbo pushing air through the intake of the engine have the turbo pull through the exaust. If this is posible it would save you from having an intercooler! Also it would be a lot easer to build (less piping ect.).
Have any of you ever heard of this being done? Dose any one have something simular? Any input would be great!

Re: Alternative turbo
Good idea!!
You know what, give it a try!
Ok since it's can't be exhaust powered, it could be in the form of a belt-driven supercharger.
no wait.... a SUPERSUCKER !!!!! With inconel impeller! or ceramic!
and big enough to suck on the exhaust gases (that are already coming out under pressure)
