Any reasons why you decided to go this route other than it being a rarity? Most people opt not to go this route unless they have absolutely no room in the engine bay.
As I see it, you're adding more weight to the back of a FWD, adding more piping, IC piping running right next to hot exhaust piping, exhaust gases cooling before reaching turbo, and turbo is capable of scrapping on the ground.
Btw, I'm not trying to bash this at all.. I think it's neat what you're attempting.

I saw a tc run 7.63 at moroso last week. Rear wheel drive, didn't sound like a toyota engine though might have been a rotary the way it sounded. It was by far the best time of the night. It was the last night before the track closes for four months so the place was packed. ..... Awsome eh
