I've got it! Not only should the turbo be mounted at the rear, but we should take advantage of the hollow driveshaft by using it as the charge pipe to get air from the compressor back up to the intake. That'll easily save 2-3 lbs of weight where it matters the least, at the cost of some extremely fancy and exotic seals and fittings to get air into and out of a tube spinning at 4,000 RPM.
Oh, and use the frame rails as the oil supply and return lines. Less plumbing, increased oil cooling, and a bit of rust-proofing as a side benefit.
I'm diggin' in.
