so the turbo is in the middle of the car (under)?. You do realize that at the turbo is where your intake is, so it'd get a nice healthy portion of rain water sitting there. I don't see why you'd prefer this set-up

At least it's more erect and not floppy anymore.

You want to build a turbo kit that sits under your car? If it does work out for you, better not drive in in the rain, snow, etc.

i really was just thinking of some ideas, but i would rather put teh turbo up at the front of teh car, but dont know how i would make both exhaust manifolds connect to the exhaust flange on the turbo. but i would like to do my setup or something similar to it but im really not sure. so if anyone has any photos of any single turbo setups it would be great.

Take a look here:
http://www.jmsproductsinc.com/
1. Click 'Performace' on the left tab
2. Scroll down about a 1/3 of the way until you see: "1000HP -03 Cobra with 76mm Turbo Project"

Is this along the lines of what you wanted to do? I an article of a shop who did a similar type job on a fox body, except they had a turbo on each side. Can't find it at all now though.

You know there are turbo headers to that point the exhaust towards the front of the car too

STS makes a turbo setup that mounts the turbo(s) near the back bumper (where there is more room than in the middle of the car).
I could just see you hitting a speed bump and seeing your turbo lying on the ground behind you.

Lol. That's what I was thinking when I first saw the plan.

go to turbomustangs.com... you will find that most people doing a remote style turbo end up removing it and mounting it up front.. for "slapping it in there" remotes are the way to go, but they WILL drag and scrape.. also with a remote style you are almost required to run without an intercooler or you will have some pretty bad boost lag.. also oil return to the pan is a problem, you will have to run a seperate oil pump to return the oil to the pan.. dont forget about getting water in the filters..

mount it up front in the hot engine bay (TURBOS LOVE HEAT!!) in the end you will make more power and wont run the risk of breaking something..

there isnt really any advantages to running a remote setup on the mustangs, Vette guys is a differant story, we have about a half dozen vette guys around here running a STS remote and it is very good power to be had.. but not so much room on the stangs...

hope that helps..
