Thanks Dan shnormo 03-06-2007, 07:48 PM Rear mount turbos lose the velocity of the exhaust. It can't take advantage of the exhaust pulses to spool the turbo up faster. The intake is so far away, when it gets to the throttle body there is boost but no velocity. So I don't personally recomend them. bumpnbrd2005 03-06-2007, 11:47 PM Thanks Norm, you seem to know what your talking about. What is the difference between Boost and Velocity? Thanks Dan |
