just search for sts turbo. They make turbo kits for almost every popular american sports car. Thye are in the back. And no you dont need new suspension, Im sure there is plenty of space to fit a turbo under the car somewhere. And i would run the filter in the rear fender space or something. They say they "solved" the lag problem but it would have to lag more than a turbo in the front, just by physics. Im sure it might not be too bad they way they have it set up, although itd def be more than in the front. Why doesnt someone just put a turbo up front where the intercoolers uusally go? But off to the side? would make sense to me.

im running custom intake and exhast pipes and im not going to need to get a new suspension except for what i need to replace just because it is old. and im thinking about also making some kind of sheild to put around it to block the crap coming off the tires. And with the question of why u would put the turbos in the back. it helps on the heat under the hood and it will help me even out the weight of the car. the engine i have right now is carberated and what im going to do is take the intake manifold off the bottom of a fuel injection and make my own elbow to come from that to my throttle body.

what kind of motor is it? you can just use a good intake manifold and run an adapter on top of it for an elbow or throttle body.

well it is a ford 351W that i am thining of stroking out to a 427. But i got a dyno sim on my computer that i used and i DEstroked a motor and now im thinking of doing that instead. when you destroke a motor it moves the rpm range up and i got 790 hp @ 9000 rpm. which would sound pretty sweet.
