    if you spec the turbo out properly for a rear mount setup then it can work ok, but you will still see better efficiency through a normal mounted turbo setup. i just hate the idea of 15 feet of intercooler plumbing and a remote pump to return my turbo oil rather than good trusty old gravity... just a whole lot more shit that can break IMO.
