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.

Yeah for cars that is a very stupid thing to do.

First off, the filter could very easily get water in it and cause some serious crap. Second, the turbo lag would be very high. Third, how stupid does that look? I guess its a good sleeper kind of thing but man its just not as cool as engine bay mounted.
