Not so true. Im in the process of piecing together a low mount turbo and when its all said and done meaning fueling and tuning included ill have less than 2k into the entire setup. Being patient goes along way. Will it make as much max power as a kb/trick kit? Probably not but this setup for me isnt about max power. The front mount look cool as **** tho and some day i will go front mount but with twins :-)

There's a difference between a low mount and rear mount, even mid mount.

Here's a low mount, which will make the same power as a front/top mount.
It's not located in the rear obviously.
Rear mounts do compromise on a few things, but still make decent power and are easy to make.



should be starting up this week.

Are you buying everything used? 2k sounds like a stretch. Don't forget about your transmission.
