you are so funny...
Why is it in the wrong place... cause this car seems to like it back there.

I m running the sts kit and haven't had a single issue with it.

My car is easy to replicate, I've posted almost all the info I've discovered since going rear mount back in 2004. I do have a bad check valve at the moment and if the car sits for 2-3 days I get some oil in the turbine housing. A quick pull and it clears up.
Main problem people have is they don't get the turbo up high enough and carefully route the drain line. You also need to remove the resistor (this was an ideal done by someone who didn't understand electric motors) from the scavenge pump circuit.

I took some notes from zombie and my rearmount screems works dam good also. even when it was stock sts it work fine trt installed it. But I guess it takes some skill to make it turn big powa My car is easy to replicate, I've posted almost all the info I've discovered since going rear mount back in 2004.

I also struggled with the oil leaks..... until i fabbed a self contained oiling system with two turbo werks eva pumps and a gallon oil tank, etc.... Works great now but kinda expensive to setup a seperate oiling system. Best of luck to the OP.
i replace the sts pump with a big mocal pump, I had the oil return directly to the oil pan. I uses aeroquip teflon hose with fittings. I put check valves on the oil feed and directly on top on the turbo but it kept pushing oil.
sure, it can do a great john force style burnout
yes i know that rear mounts can be quick, but you can not beat the efficiency of a front mount kit
i think most people that get the sts kit is because the can not afford a proper front mount or do not want to do the extra work.
we are lucky that we cave big cubed motors, strap on a rear mount turbo on a 1.6litre honda civic and see how great that spools

So to say that the turbo's are in the wrong place would be incorrect IMO. I would say incorrect for a street car, but when it comes to race cars, anywhere would work

Verdad Gallardo not bashing sts, but my procharger car only took a few months to get running. did all the work in my driveway too. The biggest setback was when i got the motor rebuild the reluctor wheel got damaged and was backfireing badly, It took me and my friend all of our energy too figure that one out. The machine shop rebuilt the motor again for free and now i can be any happier

I will try to get some pics this weekend. I got the idea from a non-supporting vendor's website (rbracing-rsr.com/oilsystems.htm).... Mods: If it is not cool to list the site, i can remove it. It has one eva pump for pressure and one eva pump for scavange. The pressure side is regulated by a return line to keep the pump cool and also regulate pressure. The return orfice size is adjustable by using different size holley jets that were fabbed into one of the AN return fittings. The larger the holley jet, the less pressure to the turbo's or visa versa. I used -6 on the pressure and return side and then down to -4 to the turbo's and the scavange side uses -10 to the tank. It was kinda expensive to setup but could be done cheaper if you use rubber lines instead of ss braided..... I am about to install an LED warning light with an oil pressure switch to warn me if the pressure drops below a set amount. If the light comes on, i better shut the car off to save the turbo's. I will take some pics soon. thanks
The fasted person in this section runs twin's in the trunk of a C5 vette, so to say its all about efficiency would be a lie. It all depends on what you want to do with the car...
Street Scene, nothing better than a Front Mount
Strip, doesn't matter where the turbo is, as long as you come out of the whole with the correct PSI

My STS experience was a nightmare. I got one of the original Phamspeed kits and loved it. A couple years after I parted the car out I bought the car in my sig from another member. The work that was done to the car by the shop that built it was awful. My #5 primary was beat 1/2 way closed with a hammer to get it to clear the steering rod.
I guess what I'm saying is... these kits can be hit or miss.

Im done with sts, Car has been down almost two years, damn. I put together a procharger car in less than two months. Anyway i want some soft of forced induction. Im leaning towards the ebay turbo kit or another procharger setup. I would like to keep the car as stock as possible(a/c)? Any recommendations?
I think i would buy another head unit and have a machine shop duplicate the procharger brackets and have an exhaust shop fab some tubing for the pipes? does this sound like a good plan?
