2. Do you even know the benefits of a rear mount turbo?
3. If it isn't broken, don't fix it? That's the motto you're going to use here? Your name is a clear reference to Honda, and I highly ------- doubt you own or even know of any cars made by Honda that come with turbos, so any turbo you're working with violates the principle you just quoted.
4. Proofread your ----. Use some god damn punctuation. And, it's a turbo, not a turba.

I don't consider the ease of setup really an advantage. It's like saying a CAI is easier than swapping cams.
As for the cooler charge temperatures, is that really an advantage? First off, we need to find a car that has problems with charge temperatures. Mine doesn't. Maybe that's because it's a well-designed kit. Regardless, finding one that does isn't hard. Now because of the higher IATs, it needs to back off a few degrees of timing. I guarantee you, both kits being equally designed, it will still make better numbers. Furthermore, steps can be taken to lessen the IATs. Better intercooler, better turbocharger, etc. Fact is, while the rear mount may have better IATs, the front mount will still outperform it, so the advantage is negligible.

A. ---- you.... whats the benefit of having a turbo that far from its power source besides lag and rust?
B. i know how to spell vtec u fucktard its a joke i am named after a phone...
on a seperate note my roommate has a 01 b4c car with a gt4788, and i am in the process of doing a hx40vgt d16 in my 1900lb racecar, so yes i have a little experience with turbos and i still think rear mount is junk...
show me 1 fast reliable rear mount car and i can find 100 traditional setups that are faster.
