Custom/Different TT Idea I've been searching for possible TT setups for my 95 TA, I'm planning on building a low compression forged 427 Gen 1 small block based off the new World aluminum block. Everything I've read makes it sound like the remote mount turbos are convenient but don't seem to perform as well as conventional mounting. I just think it is going to cost an arm and a leg and a lot of fabrication to mount twins in the engine bay.
-Since I'm not planning on using my back seat and I have to alter the tunnel to fit a 4L80E, do you think cutting the rear seats out and mounting the turbos there would eleviate the issues of the remote mount system (this is more of an mid mount).
-It moves the weight of the turbos to the middle of the car, and doesn't add very much extra weight in piping (how much does a GT67 weigh?).
-The intercooler might even be able to fit between the radiator and the engine, so there would be a direct shot into the intake.
-I would be able to buy some hooker long tube headers and fabricate the rest quite easily.
-The oil lines wouldn't have to be much longer than conventional mounting
-Can anyone think of any other possible issues/flaws this design might have?
Thanks for any input...

Why not just do it right the first time and put one in the nose? Run a big single up front, intercooler behind the passenger seat and be done with it.
If you want to run twins, I guarantee you can get a pair of 76mm turbos mounted in the engine bay w/ an A/A intercooler in the nose.
If you're scared of costs and fabrication, an aluminum World motor is not what you want either.
