Someone should make a rear mounted supercharger, driven by the rear axle.



I'M KIDDING!!!

Boy , you Florida dudes are a tough crowd.

As far as I know, Tom hasn't melted his battery or gone up in a ball of flame from an exploding gas tank. I think the system is sound. It might be the angle of the shot as well, I guess I could get right up under the car and take the shot straight up so you could see the actual clearances.

With the exhaust side of the turbo behind the intake compressor, I can see why the system is routed the way it is. In a perfect world, what you guys say makes sense. In application, I don't know that it matters.

I have the same WG on one of my Supras. Infact, all the intercooler pipe work, exhaust fabrication and turbo install were done in that same shop a few years back.

Looks fantastic! You'll scare everyone around once the wastegate opens!
