[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 897345, member: 52972"] The STS rear mounted turbos appear to be very practical and are not subject to a lot of damage from road debris. The best part is that they are mounted where the air intake is cooler, instead of under the hood where it's about 100 degrees hotter. Also, the long pipe from the turbo to the MAF/Throttle body cools the compressed air much like an intercooler without the added expense. The most significant factor is that the waste-gate is on the compressed intake air side of the turbo instead of the exhaust side. That allows the exhaust to always keep the turbo spooled up and eliminated most of the tubo-lag associated with getting the turbo up to speed. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
