The biggest thing that bothers me is that it makes it extremely easy for somebody who knows a little bit about turbo stuff to see that filter, look under your car, and steal your ---- while you're eating dinner with your girlfriend or something.

Other than that I think it's a pretty unique setup..

Seems like alot of plumbing work would have to go into something like that when it's really not necessary. I'm wondering what they've got holding up a heavu *** turbo in the rear like that. Must be some kind of brackets somewhere.

god, this is on h-t too. ok folks, The turbo has its own oiling system with pump and filter. All of the pipes are jet hot coated, there are no severe bends in the system so its pretty much a staight shot both ways. and there is a very minor step down in piping diameter right before the turbine as to increase exhaust velocity due to the slight heat loss.
