Well it looks promising. I would love to see a boost curve too.
That is a big turbo to spool up.

Nothing a lot of Nitrous can't fix though

With a torque curve like that, I'd think it will be a bear to put that power down!

Like the water to air as well.
EDIT: Well I found what I was looking for... I will keep the rest of my opinion to myself, the setup is a neat idea and I hope it works out for you.. the workmanship is top notch!!! I don't want you to think I am downing your setup. Good luck and let us know when you run it.

While I've yet to see a curve from a rear mount system that impresses me, the fact that the turbo is oversized for the application can't be helping things. Stick a 88mm turbo on there and I'm sure the results would be much more impressive. The lag will be greatly reduced and the curve will vastly improve.
Some nice engineering on the system as a whole though.
One question, how is the cold plumbing routed back to the front? We'll have to line you up with some Supras!

Care to explain that?

This is a general question? Is it ok to have the fuel cell set up like you do in regards to safety. I mean without a fire wall of some sort or barrier. I ask because i was thinking of doing something similar with my C5. The problem is that the fuel cell will be right behind me and i don't know if this is a good idea? Thanks

So you put a 101mm turbo and you are worried about it shocking the drivetrain?
While you are trying to sneak up on me I will be waiting for you at the finish line...
