A few americans do this sort of thing, but I haven't seen it done on a mini. Why would you want to? |

I remeber seeing some pictures on here a few years ago, might have been under the back of a 205. Probably worth having a search. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

It was practical performance car. BHP sells engines, but Torque wins races! |

nice one denis ,an extra 100 lbs ft on that red top must feel a bit different ! Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM |

I think there are good engineering reasons for such a turbo placement. These are:
Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

the design shows a distinct lack of imagination, talk about starting off with a clean sheet of paper, then not bothering to fucking draw on it,lol On 20th Apr, 2012 Paul S said:
I'm mainly concerned about swirl in the runners caused by the tangential entry. |

Made good sense at the time mind you, but as above, never had any issues, was a lot of work, you loose your boot space, well I did and you don't get the full benefit and point of using a turbo in the first place.

Yes, it is losing energy as heat all the way to the turbo. That is why manifolds glow red, and tailpipes don't.

True. However, how much energy really comes from heat.

This thread does remind me of some photos of badly modified cars that were doeing the rounds a few years back, one image was of the turbo(s) under the back seat Crystal Sound Audio said:
