I just took a ride in a friends LS1 TA and he has a rear mounted turbo charger?? Hella cool. Really perks the car up in teh midrange.
I got to thinking (I know real stupid) long tube headers into a x pipe to a 3 inch pipe all the way back to a Turbo with a wastegate Eather side, run the boost tube back and through a designed gate dumping after the TB but before the IC into the induction system the looog run under the car would surely cool that charge especially if stainless tube was used.
The spring or vacuume electically acutated gate would limit boost for the turbo under low rpm/ part throttle, and open full bore for WOT applications??
Has it been tried, and could our computer handle this , I'm thinking lots of usable torque and a WOT hp hit from the turbo you would be deleting mufflers and resinators so the weight adding would be minimal.
