The newer Vetts have Rear mounted twin turbo's. You only loose about 1-2 PSI. but your still kickin ***. And since the pipes are long so they gert cooled as the air travles by it. There for for a trade of 1-2 PSI your air is cooled Alost 100 Degees!!!. So you will get the power boost of cold air. to make up for the 1-2 psi boost lost. with the right stuff. there is little to no Turbo Lag. And most rear kits have a electric oil pump to get the oil to and from the turbo's. I have seen this kit installed. This kit can be converted it one made for the S30 or S130 easy. All you need is the piping. turbo(s) oil pump, and oil lines. Just to run those 2 1/2 inch pipes to the front of the engine. The air intake for the turbo's can be kept back there. Just away from water of course.

Yeah If You Have A Nice Set Of Flares You Can Incorporate The Intake For The Air Into It Sort Of Like Brake Ducts.

glad to see we actually have some knowledgable people about remote turbo kits here! I was thinking we were a dying breed on the internet! Those kits are awesome, I had one all pieced together for my Aveo but ended up scrapping the project because there wasnt enough rear clearance for the pipe to return to the front

longer teh exhaust to turbo is the better spool you get, you make more powa... however the longer IC piping you have the more boost you loose.
