turbo idea, maybe new stuff Options

[st18]

hey yall i dont know if any one has posted it or not (if they have feel free to hit me up with the normal check the old fourms lol) but i saw this new way of instwlling a turbo. what they do is put the turbo at the tail pipe at the back of the car. u bolt the hot side to the tail pipe with a flange and then run your down pipe directly to the muffler. and on the compressure side u run your piping from the turbo to the throttle body. dont know if you can do the intercooler because the pipe will be so long? only thing is im sure you will have alot of turbo lag. and you run the oil lines like u would with the normal setup (just will need alot of line) and i thought this would be great for people like me with a ST because turbo manifolds are so hard to find. when i come across the money im going to try it but if u have the bank to do it before me let me know how it turns out! it just something i thought would help turn the celica into a hellica

I knew a guy who had one on his camaro and he got like 40ish hp out of it or something like that but paid a little over $2000 for the setup.

that way i can maybe try this for under $200 i know it sounds crazy i even think so but if this work out i will be cheap power even if its 40ish.

I just saw this post and I have to say

That being said, sounds like a good idea for a rear engine car. It's cheaper to just find a custom made manifold for the 7A than buy all the piping and stainless steel line you'd need to run all the way to the front of the car, not to mention all the extra piping and ss line would cost you more than your $200 budget, and all that for like 40hp???? It does not make any sense to do this on a Celica.
