Search Zombies threads. He has a custom rear mount st80 set-up.......how fast do you want to go? If I did a rear mount for a "mostly street" driven car.....I'd probably choose the TC76. Seems to spool fast for a 76mm, and make lots of power.

Zombie just posted not to long ago. If you look back throught the last 4-5 pages you'll bond to find it. Maybe he'll see this and chime in on what all he did.

Yup Check Zombie's post.....he hasn't even begun to turn it up and already had to add 10% more fuel compared to his 76mm ITS unit he had on it at the same boost.

I had to remake the rear section of zombies exhuast to fit the 80 in there. I also redid the exhuast, the hangers, and the air intake at he same time.

Dr turbo.....hey pm with a price for two st70's for my own car......small exhuast housing.....race covers....

Zombies car is about to go back into the shop, for some small changes, but it drove nice with the 80. Just be aware that it would be difficult to do with a stock engine (346) , and since its so so large, even a small leak or problem effects it greatly. It must be near perfect to work good.

^^^^ as my fabricator / builder / drag racing guru said, it's probably not going to work well on a 346 and takes some custom work to get it to fit.

I'm hoping to have track times and higher boost from my setup next week. If i'm lucky someone will even video tape the passes.
