Nope, you want cold air on the compressor side of the turbo, fast and hot air (aka exhaust) on the turbine side. Generally speaking, that is.

STS definitely knows what they're doing. It's already an improvement over the 350Z rear mount design because it looks like they replaced the mid-pipe with a bigger-diameter piece that appears to be coated (presumably inside and out). The 350Z setup used the stock mid-pipe by default.

I certainly hope they're not using HPC coatings any more since they went out of business here in Utah. The best option IMO is from Swain Tech. HPC sucks.

I know I was just trying to

some

Where is the air intake filter exactly and how do they keep it from getting dirty too fast?

hopefully the oiling sysem isn't anything like the 350z one, installed one for one of my guys and the pump was on the other end of 12ft of 3/8 id hose from a tiny nipple on the turbo. it sucked so bad he had oil bypassing the seals at idle filing the intake piping and shooting out the exhaust so bad that when his BOV opened it would spray oil in his engine bay. We had the turbo inspected and it was like new, then i machined the oil fitting on the turbo out to 1/2 npt with a 5/8 id lineto the pump, relocated the pump to the back to reduce restriction and give the pump an easier life pumping oil, then we ran 1/2id back to the front of the engine and wouldntcha know it it just stopped leaking.
