yes they are. really is the WORST place to put a turbo.Originally Posted by duckysbht
turbos like to be hot.
the exhaust gasses going thru the turbo like to be hot.
The closer the turbo is to the engine, the warmer the gasses going into are
and the warmer the turbo the better.
Hot gasses have faster velocity are expanded more and thus spool the
turbo much better.
Only way I would do low mount turbos on our truck is 2 small twins
hanging off each manifold down by the bellhousing.
Remote mounting a low turbo should be a plan of last resort if it
just will not fit up in the engine bay.

I edit my post with all the reasons.
Been around lots of turbo installs.
Very familiar with turbo design dynamics.
Not my first trip down the turbo road.
My last "homemade" project
