well im looking into rear turbo tech and found somone selling everything EXCEPT the turbo itself. includes a FMIC, self contained oil system, upgraded pump, and wrap i pipe. I believe it has a bullet muffler also on the exhaust pipe too. not sure how that changes the sound though with that short of exhaust piping out of the turbo.

This post may not seem very credible due to it being number 1... But anyway, it sounds like you are referring to the kit American_Revolution has for sale. I talked to him on the phone last week. Nice guy. I made him a solid offer on the kit, and he said he would let me know his decision the next day. I never heard from him. I tried reaching him multiple times without luck. I'm not sure if it isn't for sale anymore, or he didn't like my offer. I hope everything is ok with the guy. I like that his kit has its own oiling system.

I have also done a lot of research on turbos, rear mount/front mount, etc. Unless I change my mind, I think I am just going to do my own cold side. I already have the manifolds and ORY. I'm either going to modify a stock catback or build my own catback. Zombie just went to 3" hot side piping on his setup, but he is making a lot more power than I'm trying to make. I'll probably go with 2.5". There are some decently priced used kits that would be handy for the piping, but it really would be easy to make your own (in theory). I'll let you know how that works out for me in a couple of weeks when I tackle this project.
