Well sorta, it's rear mount turbo mounted where the spare tire well used to be. Headers merge to an x-pipe then to a single 3" ovalized pipe into the turbo. X-pipe is really a waste as it goes to a single pipe but it came with the headers and helps with the plumbing to the turbo. |

ahhh, i've got one blue ball ...I was half expecting to see more pics of the LS1 E21 (altho I hesitated thinking that since you've had that motor snugged in for a while now). But that M20 & those headers do look pretty nice!
How come you're going with a rear mounted turbo? There are a few places online that sell turbo manifolds for the m20...mainly top tubular mount manifolds. |

I really did a lot of research on front versus rear. Check this site out:

The uncluttered engine bay, low underhood temps,
and weight savings/distribution sold me. It'll probably suck but I hate following popular convention.
I needed a daily driver as my son destroyed all his and my cars so I had to put off finishing the e21. Should wrap the e30 up by April and the e21 should be done by June. REALLY looking forward to the e21 but a little scared at the same time. Kinda afraid I'll hurt myself. |
