i was watching the speed channel and saw that they installed a turbo into the back of the exhaust pipes on a corvette. it looked sweet and sound awesome when the test drove it. Imagine a Turbo in the engine bay and an additional turbo used for the exhaust - . If I remember correctly the turbo was adding near the rear bumper of the corvette and the end piece was the exhaust tip. Any one heard about this - it would be awesome on a celica

Im no expert, but i would assume you would take the same steps as you would boosting any other N/A motor. For example the a 5sfte setup. It starts off as a N/A but once you start adding boost to it, you need to start by changing MAP sensor, maybe add piggy back of some sort, fuel supplements (new pump, maybe injectors, depending on amount of boost) intercooling if needed. and many more



A motor is NOT gonna care where the turbo is mounted. All it knows is that there is more air being pushed into the intake manifold than usual and if you dont tell it what to do, its gonna destroy itself, depending on the amount of boost this rear mounted turbo setup could generate this will be an issue.



Again this is based on my intermidiate knowledge and this rear mounted turbo is a new concept, so if anyone disagrees with any of my statements fell free to say so, thanks! smile.gif



im off to celebrate my B-Day! the big, two-one!
