    I was wondering about that too! Thanks for asking, Mike. I assumed rear turbo, so the A/C components can live happily ever after. I can't wait to see all of these cars at Madness. You guys really do need to make a video magazine of all this awesomeness. Hows the new tranny feel in the buggy?
    Why a rear turbo? You could accomplish the same with a remote turbo in the battery location like Damkid?

      Buggy trans feels good and I'm changing my driving habits.

          I would but there is so many different combos. Hydro, cable, bp, b6t, v6...

          They would have to be car specific. I'm prolly gonna start making a few things

          • Well, just mounts for the G-series from the capri would be a nice start, lol.

              Dustin, when you figure out how to make a remote turbo work, we will all bow down. Lol!
              Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.

              • @Driver One I do not have Megasquirt therefore I am forced to run a bulky VAF.
                If I had MS there'd be no VAF and Must likely a turbo there.
                Along with AC, but who knows..... we might just change it up again for next year fmvii

                    +1. According to my calculations (based on grade-skool math), it is impossible for a rear turbo to work. Just use two leaf blowers inline, and at least one Turbonator.

                      I think BP+Hydro Gseries mounts is possibly the most common, because they are found together and swap in together easier than hunting down a separate engine and trans for us n00bs (I'm swapping in a BP and a Hydro G right now for my first swap) Just throwin my 2cents in.
