Default Turbo

Now before I get slapped for not using the search button, I didn't know the name of this set up.

I was reading in one of my car magazines way back, about a turbo set up where the turbo was in the rear of the car?

Anybody have this? Where can I find it? HP/torque #'s? Price? Worth it? Cool?


thanks guys

I just bought my 02 WS6 and I'm looking around for some add on's. I have a Borla Exhaust right now.

420-450rwhp on 5psi with the base kit.

Over 700rwhp if you start adding more and more mods and boost.
