They can work well for drag racing as you have time to stage the car and build boost.

For the street, I've never driven a rear mount setup that I've liked. Just not responsive enough at tip-in and transients.

Is it complete? I like my rearmount but tomorow when I go to the track will be the real test,one thing I have to say tho is the car feels alot faster with the 2.73 vs the 3.42 I had before.this time I just gotta remember to not do no lift shifts

Honestly it just depends,im running a 6speed and the 2.73 gears are great. First pulls real hard now where it didnt before.I wish I would have made it to the track with the 3.42s. Out of boost the car is a little weak but it also builds boost so much faster now. In my fox im planning on using 3.08 gears with a glide.id think 2.73 gears in a a4 would be best of both sorlds

I just hate the ground clearance loss. I have to be SUPER CAREFUL.

no to on3 turbo. search online about issues.

also, with the silicone hoses, what ply (3 / 4 or other) are you purchasing and from what vendor?

Mine is perfect for the street, but it is an A4 with a mild stall so creates boost as soon as the converter bites. I wouldn't want it any quicker spooling or it'd blow the tires.

I imagine an M6 would have a little lag at low rpms though.

There are a ton of myths on here about what to do for rear mounts.
I have LTs dual 2.5" ex and twin pte billet 5858s and the responsivness is crazy. It makes power at any rpm and is almost instant.
The car made 876/860 on 18psi pump and meth with more to go. It should make 1k on good gas

One thing to think about is the 400 $ oil pump you dont need if you go oil less. So you can just put that 400 $ s into the oils turbo

As for ground clearance you should look up my alum 2x4 charge pipe I made for my car. It helped a lot

That would make a big difference as the standard ground clearance has always been a problem with these kits. Bob
