Cool setup. Disregard the haters.
Haha thanks man. Haters are a good thing though. It's good enough for people to be jealous haha

Yes I do, I am in the process of shooting a little 5 minute video about the car. Your friends turbos may be to small to boost beyond 10 psi, they have an exhaust leak, or they did not heat wrap all the way back to the turbosAny videos of this with a gauge showing it hitting 14psi and an intake air temp gauge would help with any doubts.
Plus I'm sure everyone would like to hear the sound.
Only reason I'd like to see a vid is because I have a friend with a remote mounted gto and 10psi is hard to reach and thats with a ls motor.

It doesn't scare me at all and this is not a kit everything was custom fabricated. The turbos are protected by a big steel plate. The reason the turbos are mounted in the middle is because that is where you have the most room the engine bay is very tight. It is not sneaky to mid mount the turbos because they are very loud back there and it is very obvious that you have them. There are many chevy cars that make well over 1000hp on a rear mount such as LMRs 2000hp base model lsx vette.I just don't understand why one would run a turbo kit like this . Sure it's sneaky kinda but but miles of piping and the turbo being under the car is scary
I am running an aeromotive 340lph fuel pump with ford racing ev6 60lb/hr injectors tuning with a moates quarter horse, eec analyzer, and clint garritys binary editor, also no numbers yet as I don't have a new block and trans yet as soon as I do it will be getting on the dyno. The pipes are very rigid when t bolted togeter and the zip ties were just left over from the original mounting. I am putting together a video showing the whole car, a couple of races, and other cool info. I have all tons of pics and if you look at the first page you'll see a few. If you want to see something specific or have any questions about doing this build yourself message me and I'd love to help you out.Sooooo are there any other pics of this setup or am I to just assume this is BS and go about my day?
What sort of fuel system are you running? What are you using to tune the car? What sort of power did it put down? Have you had any issues with the metal zip ties holding the piping up? How did you route the cold side pipes and connect them together?

Seeing a turbo pushrod mustang is f!cking awesome. Who gives a sh!t if the turbos are under the hood or in the trunk or anywhere in between? He has two turbos on his mustang! That is awesome. Why the hell would anyone complain or hate that? Oh my god, he didn't mount them where everyone else does, or where you would if you had two turbos on your stang... who cares?
Good job, man. I can't wait to see you tear this sh!t up with the new block. I would put the intercooler back in when you pump up the boost. Sick car, man.
But it wasn't too long ago that I read about a fox body with a set of huge turbos mounted (filling) the trunk, and they were making big boy power with big boy boost...
...And there are lots of rear mount turbo 'vettes out there pushing plenty enough power. But the Corvette legitimately doesn't have room under the hood.
I'm an engineer and love to see all kinds of solutions to problems.
It has been a while but I have uploaded a small idle clip. I am working with a friend this summer to make a cool video with all of the turbo noise everyone wants to hear.Any videos of this with a gauge showing it hitting 14psi and an intake air temp gauge would help with any doubts.
