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.

That's rediculous. This has got to be a play by a shop that doesn't have what it takes to properly fit a turbo.

1. Turbines are spun be HEAT. That's why turbos are mated right up to manifolds. Putting the turbo way back there looks like a good way to shed alot of heat....

2. I see cold water slpashing all over an orange-hot turbine housing.... I see... small cracks appearing over time.... I see.... small cracks turning into big cracks....

I'm all for trying new things, but this really looks like a hack job to me. I've seen a write up on it in a magazine once, and I was suprised they took it seriously.
