i think the effort to mount the turbos, piping, waste gates and dumps in that area isnt worth the trouble.
also putting them by the mufflers really doesnt hurt the spool time at all. pressure at one point of a close system is the same pressure at the other end. maybe reaction time would suffer some but i doubt its really noticeable.

Whats your planned boost pressure? If there was a proven kit out there making 11-14 psi, i would jump on it. 5-7 psi just isnt worth it to me. I can make more power N/A wit N2O for A LOT cheaper.

As your exhaust gasses cool traveling downward your exhaust piping, the air becomes more dense and loses velocity. Thus, effecting your spool. The closer they are to the initial exit from the motor the better. You can always drop your exhaust piping size to quicken spool time. after all, you would only see the cons to that at low rpm's. once the turbos spool, your good to go.

Also, the diff thing I'm working on too. I have an aluminum 8.8 in my garage and a spare getrag POS for measuring, I'm working on a bracket system to accomidate the 8.8. From there, I should just need to take the car to DSS to get some axles because I'm really close to their shop and they do cobra and cts-v axle stuff.
