Rear mounted turbo kit

I think that isn't ok, it will take some water & dirt, so much turbo lag, more negative than positive...

Why are people so afraid of the unconventional? Until you have had one/ridden in one or beat one then you really dont have any REAL reason to knock on it.

The filter doesnt absorb any more dirt than up front,

There is a water shield BUT if you are driving a boosted 370 in the rain you are just wrong anyways. All that money in a car and you cant afford a beater to drive in the rain? Come on.......

Turbo lag? please... gimme a break... There are so many new turbo's out there that can produce 600whp and spool crazy fast.... Just because there is distance in the pipe doesnt mean there is still not constant pressure in the exhaust pipe. If you call 500rpm over normal turbo lag then fine but to me and many others the ease of installation and no heat issues under the hood would be worth a 500rpm lag over a normal turbo......

Its a good system, generally technology gets better not worse. If it didnt work well then the concept would have failed a long time ago. I drove my friends Z that we fabbed up his rear mount in and it pulled way harder than my Voetech Z and I was using the 2.87 pulley.....

Different strokes for different folks.

I never really looked into the STS setup because it just seemd like a joke. But, when I started reading independant reviews, it looks like the system really does work and there's no lag.

Check out the youtube video from 2 guys garage:




Or on this one, you can watch the boost build on the pillar mounted boost guage:
