Rear mounted turbo

This is a neat idea. I'm not sure of the efficiency. I'm assuming it wouldn't be as good as traditional, but there are a few perks to mounting it in the rear. Let the debate begin, and please don't rag on it for being different or my ignorance in the subject.

Any thoughts on this?

I am really not sure how to feel about this, I think it would look a little weird, and possibly get extremely dirty due to its placement, but aside from that, it seems....cool? I think I will stick to the traditional tried and true method however. I also am wary about the parts used

Mount a turbo or two right next to the gas tank?

Brilliant!

LOL I just briefly looked over it, that is where my ideas came from, but you are correct, being that close to the gas tank is not a good idea. It seems as though they could possibly hurt themselves with what they say. They talk about lowering engine bay temps due to removing the excessive heat distributed by the turbo, so why would you put that by your gas tank?!?
