honestly no one knows.. for the simple fact they have never done one on a tc before.. so im the first.. been in talks with them for about 2 1/2months to get this deal done and a forsure cover on S3 mag in return for the sponsorship of this kit. It was the editor at S3 that had the idea to do this and im like sure why not.. something different. The install will be mid june when my buddy gets back from his honeymoon and then let the fun begin im also waiting for injectors, bov, ic and all the tuning goodies to come in before its installed... im shooting for HIN Orl to get the first shoot.. interior is half way done and wheels are finally back from paint after 9WEEKS!!

sorry for caps i was just typing haha not angry..

Subscribing to this thread.

Lol @ whoever said people run rear-mount turbo setups on Porsches. They're rear-engine, why wouldn't they be rear-mount.

Will you entire exhaust be heat wrapped? I am curious because exhaust gasses flow with greater velocity at certain temps and since your turbo is going on the rear of the car away from everything then the EGT will be low towards the back of the car. For example if you measure EGT on a stock ECU tC in the beginning of the manifold where the sensor is suppose to be placed you will see between 1250-1600 depending on outside temps and how hard you are driving you car. If you move the EGT probe down a few feet it might show 750-1100. I am only using those numbers as an example not to be taken to be 100% correct. I have notice my car EGT at WOT 1575 plus or minus 75 degrees. If you measure you EGT at the rear of the car then I would believe you would see 500-600 (could be more depending on exhaust setup or catalytic converters). I might be wrong but due to the lower EGT's I would expect to see a 10-25% difference then a front mount turbo. Good luck and I hope everything work out like you are planning on. BTW the oil pump shown is the pic is this used as a oil scavenge pump or an oil supply pump?
