Yep thats what i meant.

Im also not a fan of rear turbo setups either, i dont get why you would do it. Massive lag, long oil lines and twice as much pipe work.

yup, the only "pro" i can see is the wonderful sound these setups produce, being that the turbos are right near the exhaust outlets. but you sacrifice a whole lot in the way of performance just to get a different sound. oh well, to each their own...
