Message	With how well rear-mount turbo setups work. When we first saw them at our dyno weekend, we were intrigued and were curious about their potential. After tuning two of them, we came to the conclusion that the length of piping and the fact the turbos wouldn't stay hot effectively killed their performance. I'm a fan of out-of-the-box thinking, which is why I have BDE motor mounts, Ash 2.5" intake piping and Selin translators (with the new one on order and shipping currently :D)... All innovative and performance enhancing products. Rear mount turbo setups aren't performance setups, they perform poorly and don't make efficient use of a turbo. This I have seen personally. 'Interesting' or not, they are a failed experiment. Next... MY Zs ARE HYBRID VEHICLES, THEY RUN ON GASOLINE AND MONEY "I expressed no attitude, I'm correcting you. If you don't like it, try not to be wrong next time. Now you're getting attitude, and if you don't like that you should grow a thicker skin.” - TriniTT 14:04:16 12/22/12 ”Exhaust doesn't produce horsepower” - VERTTZ 13:17:22 06/26/12 I'm off to wax mine and go for a drive now. - BigTDogg (MA) 07:17:08 07/17/09 times change, people change, but the Z32 still kicks ass. - apudapus 16:46:02 06/15/07 I was more wondering how you set your climate control to 22* lol, it would be that fastest freezer on wheels! - Briscoe'sZ32 (NJ) 23:15:44 02/05/07 You have *got* to be getting a cut from B&B :D - SeedyROM 15:24:29 08/16/06 What do you think B&B stands for? - YugoBernie (NoVA) 15:57:09 08/16/06
