Reply to "Rear Mounted Turbo?"

No matter where you put it in a Pantera you will be close to the engine. There was a Horsepower TV episode in which they mounted a set of these on a C-5. They were very happy with the results. They say that the distance from the engine reduces induced heat from the exhaust and the long intake run would cool the air more albeit not as well as a intercooler. Neither of these benefits would be seen in a Pantera as the distance from the motor is just not great enough. You would likely notice a larger pressure drop from this system but it could still be tuned for plenty of fun. Your spool up time would be slightly slower regardless of claims they make. They likely just install a smaller turbo to reduce spool up times. Having to get all that air moving would also slightly reduce your throttle response. I still agree with the shorter/closer = better theory. The remote system will work just not as well IMHO.
