I was looking thru the new HCI magazine and i came across 2 new forms of turbo induction.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Squires Turbo Systems (STS)
The first being a new idea first tested on an Acura Integra (go figure) , but it had outstanding results. The turbo setup was situated in the back of the vehicle, under the wheel well!! Where the muffler was supposed to be, the turbo, filter and wastegate were located.........

The second interesting new induction method was created by Cry02, it basically utilzes compressed carbon dioxide gas to power a compressor similar to the compressors that are found on turbo setups. Looks like it could have potential, however finding information on it is becomming a loss for now, ill update when i find more on it.

first off, wouldent tire rear tires kick up a sh*t load of mud and dirt into that filter, not to mention it would be very vonurable to damage from road debrees etc.

second, yeah it would not be as good as a reg (header mounted) turbo because its so far away the preasure on the motor would not be much because it would not push enough air to fill the whole pipe (although if its under there an intercooler would not really be nessisary due to the lenght of the exsposed pipe, it could give gread high end gains, but its doubtful that it would give anything over an N.A. when its under 2.5K rpm

a big truck would be a whole diff. story, I'm just taking about our cars.

edit - the BOV behind the wheel is kinda cool though, be it would give a little shock.
