Re: Rear Mount Turbo
I'm staying away from a stand alone unit. For the money, I'm set on the e-manage. I'll put in a 255lph fuel pump, 370cc injectors, a universal FMU, and the E-manage. Some ebay boost controller, and timer. The turbo will probably be a t3 .60ar, not sure on specific brand/model. So i don't know how hot something like that will get but I've heard RMT's don't need an inter cooler also because the charge pipe is so long it helps cool the air.

Or better yet, just do it right and mount it in the engine.

Also as i said i'll need to figure this whole oil cooling thing out. Im thinking about picking up one of those fuel tanks from jegs, and an oil pump mount both in the trunk and cut holes in the floor for the lines to run to the turbo. Is that theoretically possible, using a small gas cell, the drag racing style ones, as an oil reservoir? Intercooler i've been told by like 20 people should not be used with this car, ecspecially for smaller turbos. As for right now, im just starting to look at welders, i've got a lot of practice to do before this project!!
It makes me proud to be at a site where bang for buck is always the first thing in mind.

Re: Rear Mount Turbo
Ye i agree they are very ricey there, they dont care about hp, just looks. Only reason im a member there is for tech advice on repairs. Why do you think i came here for advice on a turbo? As for my car, its stock outside, mad pimped inside, i decorated the back seat with like 20 college books and a few jackets.
