We are about to release a rear mount turbo for the C4. Our prototype is a 95 LT1. The system should be available in July.

Cheers,

We bought them from http://www.zr1products.com/vendors.html

They are steal and we didn't coat them with the Nikasil. Thought about it but we're trying to do this as economical as possible.
