Ahhh Adam, your about 5 years behined fella.

Yanks have been devloping the rear turbochargers for some time now. Without lag (don't know how), but mounting the turbos by the rear axel. PLenty of cool air. Still can't see how it gives the power it does, but it must work.

Should be plenty of clips on that america car video site, can't remember the damn name now

there was a 205 that had a rear mounted turbo in PPC a couple of months ago.

All home brew and worked perfectly well if the article is to be believed.

like it loads what your motor sound like can wait to hear your motor,
the yanks even made a red top with 1450 bhp at 10,000/11,000 rpm

That wasn't a redtop (2.0 version), that was an Ecotec lump, a 2.2 16v ali engine (we have it in 150bhp/145lb ft guise).

That website was awesome.

Crank = Replace standard after 450bhp
Rods = Replace standards after 600bhp
