Lq9 rear mounted turbo ,82mm t6 1.82 ar no backpresure to reach 16lbs boost..

Has anyone in this forum try rear mounted set up???

 

There are several that have or had rear mounted turbos.
That is one big A/R should be interesting.

 

im running a rear mounted s400 75 with the 1.10 i believe is the size ar. it wasnt easy to get the kit going, but its not too bad. spools fine and rolls out!

 

I had a rear mount on my truck for a couple of years before I moved it up front. If you have the space up front I would do a front mount. I liked the rear mount ok but it doesn't spool near as well as the front mount. That big exhaust housing will be hard to spool even on a 6.0L.

 

Im running one and even with a .68 housing spool isnt optimal. If i had any goals to make bigger power i would just front mount it. I rear mounted it because i was on a budget at the time and did it all myself and already had a oil pump.

 

Thanks guys!

 

I loved my sts 67mm but I knew it was limited from the start. I just did mine because it was emissions legal and I know Texas heat is a killer for a DD. I sure as hell had fun beating people up with it. It had 7.40s in it but didn't get to prove it.

 

i ran the sts kit for a few years.. the new front mount with a S475/83 1.0 spools faster than the rear mount 60mm did and i like it alot more than the rear mount.

 

Started out rear mount as well. Oil return pumps and issues make me worry. Front mount is mo better. Rear was a fun start though.

 

why not a smallish front mount and huge like 106mm turbo as rear mount? crazy power and crazy piping is needed
