Rear mounted turbo setups?
Im looking at kits, I wanted to see how the kits look underneath, specificially what it looks like at the headers. Like how does the hot pipe run from dual headers into one, and still have room for a charge pipe to run up into the engine?

I have read some good articles on the STS kit, many people dont like them but if you do it the right way! ! I believe you can get some chingos of HP!
Just look at the one that was built by ECS! ! Its for sale now!
It ran deep in the 9's

From pictures he posted it looks like a clean setup. He uses a single rear mount versus twin that comes from STS.

I have a STS kit on my car and I really like it. I have logged on about20,000 miles on it and it has been reliable as far as the kit goes, but I've had fuel pump issues which have nothing to do with the kit. Once installed, the kit is trouble free.

I was in no way trying to be negative. When I first joined the forum, I was given this same advice and found out from others that members are more likely to respond if they know a little more about whom they are “talking” too. So don’t take it as sarcasm, as it was only meant with good intensions.

Thanks, those do help visualizing it, I dont like the idea of flattened charge pipes, but it does do away with hacking away at the car.
