I cant decide where to place the turbo in SC400 turbo project. I dont plan on crazy high horsepower I'll just boost within stock engine internal capability.
My main concerns are:
Traditional mount turbo:
Cons: Complicated turbo manifold design
More weight in front of the car
Pros: No oil pump needed
Better turbo response
Rear mount turbo:
Cons: Uses oil pump (weak link)
turbo lag
Pros: Simple and quick turbo mounting/placement
Weight is biased towards the rear
Cheaper/Easier to build
Less heat in the engine bay.
What do you guys think?
