My dad has a 24v cosworth powered capri (was a 2.8i special) and has been looking for ways to get more power for ages and he showed me this

has anyone used a rear mount turbo kit? they seem like a good idea as you dont need an intercooler but wouldnt they get damaged from the road? speedbumps etc....
it looks like a cheap and easy way to 300bhp if they were only on low blow with standard internals but ive heard people saying theres alot of turbo lag

anyway, has anyone had any experience with these? are they worth the money? and will they be as vulnerable as i think they are?

cheeeeerrrssss

 

I have spoken to someone that had just had his car mapped with a rear mounted(tailpipe area), it was pug 205 turbo, I asked about lag and any other problems.
No lag at all really he said, certainly less laggy than the RST he had before it, both were same size turbo's but can't remember which size, prior to this it was a conventional front mounted turbo, and he said he was really hard pushed to notice a difference in lag terms.
He didn't use a inter cooler and ran from memory 26 psi, with a alloy boost pipe rear to front providing enough cooling effect.

OMG

Forget it

The only way to 300 horses and above is via someone that knows what he is doing

are they really that bad then?!?!?!?!??!?!?!
and ive seen some bad stories about top boss on some websites, but the single turbo conversion does look really good.
if not then he'll v8 it
