....I think the LAST place I would put the Turbo (and air filter) is BEHIND the REAR AXLE!!!
(for those not familiar, that is an LT1-powered Camaro Z28)
Scary thing is, that company is seriously looking at producing that kit with that turbo location!
And you thought the WRX had some wicked turbo lag

well, they're working on chevys, so how smart can our old boys be in the first place.
and you'd have to be a total RETARD to put a turbo that far away from the motor. why not just have twin turbos and put the turbos where the side view mirrors go?
retards, i tell you. retards.

Note to Self
Come to think of it, I'm going to kidnap the first cop that tries to look under my hood, other than to help me when I'm on the side of the road in need of a battery jump...

what i meant was that the wastegate gases are routed to the gas tank (which is full of flammable gas) in order to quiet them. the mixture of hot exhaust gas and gasoline could result in a large explosion. which would be funny because that design is retarded. but none of that matters anymore because no one got my joke. which would make me not funny. so i'll be under my rock if any one has any questions.
