Jerry2500 is your man, if he can do it, everyone can!
I have also heard the towing thing too. Just keep the boost levels and EGT's in check.

with all of the kits coming out now it will be real interesting to see if there is any clear performance advantage to the front mount. i think there will be but a not bashing the rear kit at all.
