Safety concerns regarding rear mounted turbos?
Hi forum!
I was wondering if there are any safety concerns with a rear mounted turbo? In the Z with this type of setup, the turbo is positioned right underneath the gas tank. Do you guys see any potential hazardous issues with this setup? What would happen if you get rear ended and the gas tank is punctured? Wouldn't the gasoline ignite if it touches the super heated turbo? Are we talking about a Ford Pinto scenario here? Would you instanteneously explode? Do people with this setup always look at the rear view mirror for fear of sudden death? |
