As if that means anything, especially if you're turbo'ing the engine it came with? Do like any ordinary person would and rip it out in favor of a Chevy.

Re: rear mount turbo setup
 

i thought about running this set up due to no underhood room. i have since decided to pursue other options, mainly b/c i dont want my filter under the car, and turbo choice becomes a bit more tricky to compensate for lag, etc. but you will need an extra oil pump for the return. the good news is that you wont have to tap the oil pan so you can run the return line back through your oil cap (like sts turbo setups). the real tricky part is getting oil out of the turbo after you turn off the car. you can use a timer or make a sump, but ground clearance can become a issue. Here is a link to a site that has a lot of good info on his remote set up.

check out this website: http://www.ststurbo.com/ go through it see what did to came their kit for camaros and firebirds.
the mounting is easy but look @ what they use for oiling system. you probably get this stuff from a hardware store and save a lot of cash.
And look @ the plumbing for the intercooler. Plumber's nightmare.

That would work really well. Do that. Should be pretty cheap.
I used an old, used, spare Denso fuel pump when I replaced my cat with a turbo last spring/summer. IDK how long that would have lasted... But the pump solved all of my oil burning problems & it lasted 2-3 months (Longer than the turbo). Too bad the turbo was too small, I was hell bent on using it anyways, and I ripped the wastegate off & welded the flapper shut to make it semi-driveable!
During fab.

Don't worry about any loss of spool time. The simple fact is that there isn't much difference between most single turbo V setups where you have to merge & bend everything all which-a-way to mount the turbo where the battery sits.
And simply running a merge + striaght pipe out around the tail.

Biggest thing, like always, is just do a good job picking your turbo.
