You can run up to 10 psi on a stock bottom end and rear mounts are for people that wont a little over stock (not saying they dont make power)with this kit u can run low pressure then build ur motor and have a fast car.

You could build a front mount for around $2k as well with a turbo that will make 1000hp. I just did it on a big block Chevy including blow through carb and hat. The money gets big when you build your shortblock and fuel system.

ha, whatever  
There is a slight loss in efficiency due to the lower EGT and a little loss of exhaust velocity. But you solve this problem by using a smaller exhaust housing A/R than you would a front mount.
Please explain how a boost level achieved with a remote mount is going to produce significantly less power than a similar sized turbo producing the same boost level under the hood? Besides a minuscule amount of extra lag, what's the difference?

Someone said it earlier... boost is boost. And this is very true. Regardless, this setup will have a bit of lag, but you're not loosing that much power, yes, it takes a bit more to travel, and just like electrical work, after a certain distance, there will be a slight loss, all depending on the distance that the boost travels.
Think of it this way, we have two garrett t04's:
46mm compressor wheel, producing 564cfm at full spool
60mm compressor wheel, producing 650cfm at full spool
Now the 60mm compressor wheel is producing more flow, reducing lag and power loss. The faster air flows, the less lag will be produced. So we're having to push air, let's say... through roughly 8 feet of housing, which will do it faster? The larger turbo. From what I understand, the lag is not that noticeable.
Since this setup eliminates an intercooler, the air doesn't get denser, thus requires a lower PSI to actually run the system. Another awesome perk: less bends = less PSI required. This all depends on how it's setup again, however, theoretically it will require less boost to be generated than a conventional under-the-hood setup.

ANY turbo setup is good, doesnt matter how ugly or where its mounted. I built the ugliest turbo kit on the planet, but 15psi on a 454 it really scoots, doesnt matter what it looks like

I bet there was next to no lag in that setup. I'd like to do that to a 5.4L

I am sereously thinking about doing something similair. I have a Holset WH2D from a previous project and was wondering if anyone could tell me if this was to big for a 281C.I. mod motor
