Rear vs Front Mount? I know this topic has been beaten to death... but I have a couple questions.
I am looking to run about 6-7psi on a turbo setup and hopefully push 475whp and similar torque. Now I want quick spool and all that... but I am more interested in a solid powerband. I want peak torque early and I want to hold it over 450-475wtq til Redline.
I want full boost around 3200rpms and I saw that a 70mm in a Rear would make it at about 3500rpms? Which isn't too bad but I am wondering how much different a Front Mount would setup would be. How much better that is.

If you can do the fab work and don't live in Cali, I would so a single front mount. When I move out of this state I'll sell my rear mount set up, and built a single front. Also is A/C important to you.

both have their ups and downs.....there is lots to be found around here on this topic. a front mount is a little more complicated, and no matter what, prepared to spend a shitload of cash!

you pretty much answered your own question..."its been beaten to death". Which means everything you wanna know about rear vs front vs anything else is inside that search button. Just type away and youll probly stumble upon a wealth of information.

When I moved my rear mount to the front, it was like a different car. Instant spool! You need to move some stuff around for a conventional. If you don't want to do that, a rear mount works just fine. I had fun with mine.

Silver, are you the maker of Junkyardturbos? Ive followed your build for awhile. Any updates? Did you fab up manifolds for your front mount? see, the convenient thing about rear mounts is...fully stock exhaust.
