Rear mount turbo's suck for 2 reasons.....
#1 A turbo uses unused energy that was combusted from the engine to sping the turbine wheel, with as much piping you have for exhaust you loose a lot the heat efficentcy = power loss
#2 Larger the turbo the more piping the more air volume you'll have to fill = LAG!!!
The End
PS.
Just my 0.2 cents

Re: ::::::Hidden Turbo Thread::::::::pics and how toos welcome (wickedEFguy)
this isnt suppose to be a thread on wether or not it sucks.We all know why they are no good.
Id like to see some setups, u could make something real sleeper w/ a setup like this.

Somebody needs to post that picture of the guy with the intercooler piping running through the stock airbox. That's probably the most hidden setup I've ever seen.

Re: (808DB1)
I just saw a similar rear mounted turbo setup on HorsepowerTv the other day. it was a twin turbo vette like so ...http://www.corvettegarage.com/....html
It made an extra 200whp on just 7psi. But then again, such a big motor with turbos that small lag would not really be a problem.

They used a pump to feed it back to the motor.

the exhaust setup on that vet looks sick. I'm i'm seeing that correctly the two middle pipes are the downpipes and the two outside pipes are the dumptubes? Pretty neat idea.

A cop would never see this turbo...as long as you stay behind him! A cop might not see it when he pops your hood but the reason he pulled you over was because he saw the turbo in the back. Hahaha!!!!

You guys wanna see a REAL twin turbo vette, look at the rear mount (both turbos in the trunk, 1500+ hp) Z06 in the drag racing forums.

no,
#1 size A/R accordingly
#2 reduce pipe diameter

i remember when the STS kit first came out, there was a magazine that did a test drive with it...at first the author was VERY skeptical and thought along the lines as most people in this thread....then he drove the car (Type R) and was very impressed wtih it...he wrote that it had very similiar characteristics as a similiar under hood mounted turbo system...minimal lag, great response, good power etc, etc. those kits are well thought out, well rounded kits, despite what honda-tech thinks. i lol at what drips out of peoples mouths onto there keyboards sometimes.

so.....if it was under the hood what would it use to spool it? hopes and dreams?
the kits come with the proper size charge pipes so you dont have to worry about lag.

#1 reason why these turbo kits suck...I personaly seen two ripped off! one by a speed bump and one debri in the road. the one ripped off by a speed bump was a camaro...pretty funny.
but on topic. the civic I saw was green but it had the turbo covered with the stock heat shield and the charge pipes were hidden in the stock air box. the intercooler was painted black also. pretty hidden. minus a couple of questionable vacum lines.
