boost from boot to boot

[iXe<30]

I might replace some of the return with two of those really thin intercoolers. Also i am not lowering the car significantly. Im one of the few who love the stance of the e30. would two small intercoolers one after the other reduce flow? i know im crazy guys... Unless i can fit a normal one back there easily...(with the wheel hump gone) Which i Think it will.

I sugguest reading a couple turbo books before you buy anything or come up with any ideas.

eah this is a feeler... im soakin up as much info as possible. My biggest concern is tuning.... i feel like i have to go megasquirt eventually. i Intend to start at low boost though so i could maybe do war even so im concerned about the maf being in the boot..... that shouldnt be to bad...

do it, i love the idea of the rear turbo mount, but u gotta figure out how to do ur oil in and out lines, "oil in" will be easy but the exiting part will be tricky

already looked into it and have a heat resistance electric pump picked out ;)

I thought about this but figured why risk it..

Don't buy temporary parts. Get what you want from the start and you'll save lots of time and money.

theres a reason why remote mount turbos exist...sts makes good money proving why they are good and work great


some of the v8 guys like the tt vettes use remote mounts simply to distribute more weight and nothing else....maybe also to avoid the extreme heat. You will also notice the remote systems seem to be swayed towards twin set ups to achieve faster spool and desired boost with smaller turbos...

trucks use the tt systems a lot too......remote mounted systems are pretty bad ass in my opinion and anyone running one properly gets a thumbs up in my book

check that out.

STS and a lot of custom guys have posted proof all over the internet that lag and the difficulty in reaching desired boost is a myth, you just need to do it right. My biggest worry would be the oiling system, getting boost is easy with the right piping and a properly sized setup

plus you can hear the turbos spool in the exhaust much easier, sounds better imo

In theory it sounds fun and different but you are much better off doing a bottom/top mount in the engine bay.

I am sure with enough R&D/time/money it could be done but at the end of the day, i will make the same power while spending less money.

Good luck on whatever you decide.
