I have looked and can't find any info or threads on this site for a low mounted kit for these cars. Does anyone make one? Anyone have any thoughts on which is better? any help would be greatly appreciated.

Like an STS turbocharger kit? I wouldn't suggest using something like that over the alternative, but its rear mounted...

u can't find anything cause no one uses them. there is always some sorta oiling issue and BS wen u mount them down low like that with sump issues.

there supposed to be less build up of heat being exposed to air vs. inside the motor compartment but the compressed air from the Turbo has to travel back to the engine and not being situated closely to the inlet manifold, Turbo lag will be obvious as the compressed air has to travel further to reach the engine’s cylinders.

and if ur tryn to do the whole "Hide my Turbo set-up thing" that won't fool anyone. as soon as they see an intercooler and no blower it becomes pretty obvious

hellion had some low mount kits a few years back for these cars .it was located in the bumper driver side but i think they got bad rep because they would fill up with oil then push into intake.

I like the lower setup (meaning right after the manifolds) for heat issues, basic packaging, and moving the weight down low for what I intend to do with the car. I'm aware of oiling issues, which is serious, just wanted to know if anyone had figured that out.

For oiling you have 2 options, run a scavenge pump or the Comp oil-less turbos.

S&H Performance was planning a single turbo kit that mounted a Comp oil-less turbo next to the transmission.

I'm not sure if they ever got past the R&D mock up for the Coyote but the stealth twin kit they made for the 3v made well over 1000rwhp on a few cars.

I would never put Comp oil-less turbo's on my car. Not only do they make much less power than regular oil fed turbo's, but they need to be rebuilt frequently.

Every reputable tuner I've heard use Comp oil-less turbo's says they don't perform nearly as well as a traditional oil fed turbo.

I think it's the turbo design, not really being oiled. They use ceramic bearings in oil-less turbos and we know they are better but they need cooling of some sort. Grease, oil, water or a combo of the above.

I did some research on these. U are supposed to grease them every 3-4K miles and they are cooled via the engine coolant system. Is this a new mod to address the past failures or have they always been that way?
