I posted something about this awhile ago. It is not going to get as hot as that picture I don't believe. I would be interesting to try it and see what it could do.

I just started reading that thread. 
I forgot how that one turned out. Good stuff.

Some 928 guys have recently built up a rear turbo, we are waiting for them to post some dyno results. What makes the concept appealing to them is that 8 cylinders would have good enough low end torque to start off and the potential lag would be acceptable.
I thought that the potential of 944 turbos was already there, all without the need of rear mounted accessorizing such as this.
I just found it interesting that you all were discussing this too.
Peace!

I can see maybe these street racers wanting to sucker somebody into something they weren't expecting, but for a 951 it looks like it would be more trouble than it's worth.

Chris, I just read the linked thread. We had "discussed" this for nearly a year. Nothing to the likes of this tho. Holy cow!
Within the last month, we have seen first pics of a 928 installation (custom of course). At least early talk actually went somewhere for a change.
Having 2 sizes of turbos on a 944/951 is interesting. I would expect that to optimize it you would be looking at state of the art stuff tho.
Enjoy!
Over and out.

Industry Experts
Here's what the industry the industry experts are saying about STS(tm) Turbo Systems:
Click here to see the industry articles on STS.
Kenny Duttweiler - Duttweiler Performance, Inc.
(Longtime "Turbo God" Kenny Duttweiler has a well-established reputation as the finest turbo tuner in all of drag racing.)
"Squires Turbo Systems' remote-mounted turbos have solved all of the problems associated with traditional engine-mounted turbo systems. The intense underhood heat a turbo generates has been eliminated and you no longer need to punch a hole in your oil pan or cut up the front of the vehicle for an intercooler. Emissions should be really good too with mounting the turbocharger after the catalytic converter."
Joe Pettit - Editor of Sport Truck Magazine
(Joe recently installed our system on a Chevy 4.8L Silverado - details are in the October 2004 issue of Sport Truck magazine.)
"When we first saw this turbo system at last year's SEMA Show, we were very skeptical about throttle response. We thought that with the turbo so far away from the combustion chamber, the system would be lazy with a lot of turbo lag. But after driving the system on other trucks as well as on this install, we find the lag not excessive in the least; it is very near what you find on factory turbo systems."
"So if you're looking for a power adder for your sport truck, we recommend you take a look at the STS remote mount turbocharger system."
Evan Griffey - Editor of Turbo and High Tech Peformance Magazine
(Evan's 3 page article on STS appears in the October 2004 issue of the magazine)
"The velocity of exhaust gas and the fact that the STS design features a good deal of straight pipe, coupled with what exhaust gas does when it enters a turbo, should help negate any "lag" in the system."
"We commend Squires Turbo Systems for the innovation and integrity of the concept it put forth, and we also appreciate the enormous potential it represents."
Patrick McCarthy, instructor at ESPN's Russel Racing School
(Patrick is a professional driver that drove the vehicles at the 2004 SEMA Proving Grounds)
"These turbo systems spooled quicker than any other turbo I've ever driven. The power comes on smooth and is very controllable, giving a great throttle response."
