FWIW, he also claimed 153hp / 98tq at 6200RPM. He couldn't explain that the math didn't add up. 98rwtq = 115rwhp, but we have lots of videos of it idling.

Wow...hilarious.
I've actually talked to a guy who was interested in rear mount..done correctly. Touching on issues like possibly having a remote oil reservoir just for the turbo (maybe a cooler on it??) and such. Much more intelligent approach.
Hell I'm cheap as a **** and I still see it as doing it the right way. I think thus far I've spent about....900 dollars odds and ends and I'm only finishing my turbo rebuild and getting my MS installed away from boost. I can get a exact amount for anyone who's curious to see where the money went.

did they need to be given a bad name? when you have a car with all the space you could possibly need for a turbo in the engine bay, why the hell would you do a remote mount?
the only reason for them is on a packed v8 engine bay, and even then they're pretty gay. put them in the front bumper or something.
