I dont quite understand.. but this car makes very good power (just shy of 1000bhp at the wheels)
personally i have never seen a setup like this before. I assumed he would get massive lag but this is meant to be fully spooled by 3,500

Strange, suppose it has 2 smallish turbos and a massive 8L V10 spinning them.

Fair common in america to be honest think they call it remote mounted turbo kits lol, can even get superchargers that run off the rear diff!

very strange.... must have been tight for room up front as all that pipe work will add lag, pressure drop, weight etc
Its also going to be VERY loud!
then just take a look at all the oil lines that will be running the length of the car - and back!
Power curve looks very gradua, so turbos prob not doing much till higher rpms.

Rear mount.
Lag is an issue. But its the only option if theres no room in the bay really.
Seem some cars with good results with rear mounts. Youtube it

You reckon the rear bumper will bolt back on over that lot? In which case so will the inner arches at the back blocking the filters from the tyres?
Seen the remote turbo thing done quite a lot over the pond.

i would have done it slightly different
Have the turbo's in the boot, holes/ducts in the rear 1/4's to feed the turbos and ehausts out the boot/no plate area
hehe

Or through boot floor and out as 'standard'
Would be tempted to use smaller bore pipe from turbo to cooler. Less volume to pressurise etc.

when the bumper is fitted back on it stops the tyres flicking stuff into the filter as the inner guards are still there.
but yeah its not exactly your normal TT conversion

Now that's different!! Pretty interesting though, a video of this running would be brilliant! Still... no where near as good as a corsa
