there are many advantages of having rear mounted turbos... space in the bay, longer pipes for more cooling, easy to reach and replace turbos, easier cooling on the turbo itself since its not enclosed the list goes on... porches use this kind of lower rear mounted turbo set ups commonly to help keep ETs down and free up space and for servicing along with many cars that have engines mounted in the back and front... its very different but not new...
btw your engine back kreeps up jast as much dust and debree as the rear of the car does.. everything is pretty much open to the elements...
there are alot of negatives to this set up also... mostly with routing piping and lines for oil ...

but I have enough room in my engine bay to fit my turbo, with room to spare, we have an intercooler that does just fine for cooling, its not hard to access the turbo under the hood,
and what about risk of damages from something hitting up from under the car like a piece of debris, or weather conditions, i just dont see any benefit to this setup, unless someone can truly prove otherwise
and cmon yo, u believe that a turbo under the hood faces the same amount of debris that one under the car would, that statement isnt even feasible.
and i know that our engine bays are much more spacious than a Porsche

ugh well.. 1st off who said anything about $$$$.... I didn't spend a dime. It's all about sponsorship...2nd when your able to get cover feature in return for using there product.. i bet you would too....
So why not try it out see how it is.. if i dont like i take it off not a big deal to me... im in for the coverage and exposure more than super duper hp gains.. im interested to see what an actual running kit will do

They have been proven to hold up to weather. It's no more stress and damage than the heat that gets built up in the engine bay.

We are just knocking your WRONG claims. Comign in here claiming you are doing something that has never been done before. And acting like you are setting ground breaking paths, and then not doing it, thats what I am knocking.
You started a post with ZERO information to try and creat a buzz, then you failed to come through. You never showed something not done, and my pictures above prove it.
