Custom Rear mount turbo

I am thinking of custom making a rear mount turbo kit, has anyone done this? Any pictures of the set up, any pointers?

I did, and if I had to do it all over, I would've fabbed a front mount. Like ^ said, you scrape everything, and the scavenge pump is loud as ****.

Just pick up some rods from your local muffler shop and bend them in the direction they need to go to mock it up, that's what I did. Worked out PERFECTLY. PS - charge pipe works better UNDER the rear end, going over, the bend usually tends to let the coupler blow off and it's a pain in the *** to get back together.

+1 on lose the headers... Manifolds will work SOOO much better for your rear mount.

Yes you can, and when you do, they're a pain in the damn *** and have to be rebuilt. You need a pressure regulator if at the turbo you're seeing silly oil pressure. Also, run a good sized line for the return (-10an will suffice) and make sure there are no bends upward in it.
