turbo exhaust?, speed channel turbo exhaust on a corvette Options

[2bcelica]

i was watching the speed channel and saw that they installed a turbo into the back of the exhaust pipes on a corvette. it looked sweet and sound awesome when the test drove it. Imagine a Turbo in the engine bay and an additional turbo used for the exhaust - . If I remember correctly the turbo was adding near the rear bumper of the corvette and the end piece was the exhaust tip. Any one heard about this - it would be awesome on a celica

Thats deffinitely an interesting idea, i saw it in a magazine once. There are definitley pro's and con's to the set up. Im sure lag will be an issue to some extent, not really because its far from the exhaust man, but because its far from the intake manifold. I could imagine it takin a sec to refil the charge pipe after the BOV/BPV has ejected some air. - either way, a turbo is still a turbo wherever you mount it, and if it generates boost, (even if its laggy) it will still create hp assuming you tuned the motor correctly.

I see it as a good way to hide a turbo setup, especially here in cali where cops are constantly popping hoods. Just hide the charge pipe in your stock plastic intake pipe. As far as air getting to the filters like Uberschall was concerned about.... you dont have to mount it like they did in the vette, you could route it however you would like but i think the issue would be finding a spot that gets air but isnt volnerable to water being sucked in too easily.



There's my though on it, dont know if anyone cares or not , but it would be interesting to see if someone were wiling to try it out.
