If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

i haven't fully decided yet, i want duals but when i go to add a rear mount turbo i'll want single exhaust and i only want to do the exhaust once, with little modding for a turbo later on

would you care to do a writeup on the gutting of the pump?
I will be doing this shortly, also what belt are you running for your alternator, usually the V6 guys have to use an AC delete pulley of some sort, but you seem to have bypassed that step.89 Festiva L Carby 4 Speed... RIP. Evicted and Scrapped. I HATE MY FAMILY

Why not run two rear mounts? You probably won't have [much] traction anyway :toothy7:-Caleb

You could run duals and have them x at the end. Then take the x out and put a y in when you get turbo, so it is one pipe into the turbo and then y it so that it goes back to the duals again. That wouldn't be to hard to do. I think any way lolLast edited by hofficergrover; 02-15-2010, 08:31 PM.

I will beg to differ, as I'm sure others here will as well. It allows for mounting a turbo when there is less space then usual, has no less lag than a traditional turbo setup as the whole system is pressurized and allows you to run higher pressures (because of temps) before you need to get an intercooler, saving money.
Just like with every turbo system, it's about what parts are used, not where the turbo is mounted. It's physics. No amount of misinformation can overcome physics.-Caleb

Do you have any experience with a rear mounted setup, or are you just listening to what STS says? lolLast edited by krazy4; 02-17-2010, 11:45 AM.
