gearbox mounted turbo

[ozonehostile]

By relocating the turbo you can fit massive ones that would no way fit behind the block, plus access is no problem when its over the gearbox. In my opinion it looks a hell of alot better too having the turbo on display next to the engine. You can drasticly improve the flow rate efficiency with a relocated turbo as it allows for bigger downpipes and if properly built, better flowing exhaust manifolds.
intercooler pipe rooting also better as you dont need to get to get any pipes behind the engine
