Yes that link has been posted several times. There are drawbacks to remote mount setups as well. If you can find a shop that is competent at welding, its probably better to just do a regular setup using a custom manifold or manifold from another car with a new flange welded on.

For $3000 I could give you a low boost engine complete with turbo and everything required to hook it up. ( that's with an engine exchange)

I've offered engines before but nobody showed interest.

Case in point, GSE Turbo's built 2.0L 8V turbo..... I don't know if he finally sold it or not but it was on the board for ages.

hey Chris, that is a good point, if he found a complete turbo Sunbird or Grand Am that would be a super affordable way to go.

...however I did finally sell all my C20GET parts to a guy in Canada

how long would it take for boost to build up if the turbo were mounted at the exhaust's exit? lol

... rhetorical question, btw.

...Whyyyy?

Only good point i cans ee about doing that is if you're not declaring it on your insurance and dont want any polizia finding a big ass turbo sitting infront of them when they open the bonnet lol...

Even that's not worth it lol.

I read in a magazine article where the feature car had this set-up. The owner said that there was no pressure drop.
I was surprised by that cos i thought you could get pressure drop even from long intercooler piping.
I guess if you get all the maths right for the piping it would work.

One benefit would be the saving in both money and space with not having to get a big exhaust manifold. The engine bay would also run a lot cooler...

In the kit an oil pump is included. What a journey though...
