I'm sure I'm not the first to think of this(or I really suck at searching), but why has no one made an attempt at mounting the turbo in the y-pipe? I'm sure there is some technical mumbo-jumbo as to why, but I want to get less ignorant and find out why. I guess this would be similar to the STS setup, but it seems that it could be an improvement to their design. Of course, the intercooler, fuel management, and the other typical issues would be taken care of. What do you think? Those with pithy comments or knowledge of turbo air flow and stuff are encouraged to reply. Black 1998.5 3L Oval Port Full HMS Transmission Lots of other stuff Ressurected 06/14/06

Too low to the ground (clearance with the snail sitting down there) AND you would need to use a scavenger pump to get the oil back up into the pan. 2000 SVT Turbo 295hp/269ftlb@12psi #1 for Bendix Brakes Kits!
