im having the biggest headache of finding a turbo manifold for my 7afe(besides buying new)

so i have figured out what im going to do
im going to do a rear mount turbo by my rear bumper
im thinking a small 14b size turbo
hopefully this turbo will help with the big amount of lag im going to have with exhaust and then boost
im probably going to have to go with a turbo with double fin propelers to make up for boost

does anybody know if this has ever been done?
i know its a waste of performance on my part due to a more performance set up would be a front turbo
im not worried about how fast i can go. i like to be different. thats why i have gold wheels lol
i think it would be the only rear mount celica in my area or maybe in the world(world is doubtful lol)
but whos knows

any tips on what turbo to use?

Im not saying that installing a turbo on your car is a bad idea, I'm saying that trying to do some remote mount setup on a 1.8l 4cyl motor is the problem.

Remote mount setups are meant for v8 cars with huge engines that can push out enough exhaust to spool a turbo 10 feet away from the exhaust manifold. This setup simply will not work well on an st.
You'll end up loosing more then 180bucks.
