there are a few, but they'll all tell you the same thing, do research! nobody will tell you exactly how to do it.
of course I like this way best:

they say "With the turbo so far back, don't you get a lot of turbo lag?
No, our turbochargers are sized to operate at this remote location. Just like any turbocharger, once the turbo is up to temperature and in the rpm range for which it was designed to operate. The boost comes on hard and fast. All of our systems will produce full boost below 3000 rpm.
If you were to take a conventional turbo and place it at the rear, you would have lots of lag and consequently, our turbo wouldn't work properly if mounted up front.

"
and it's spelled CAMARO not Camero

If this guy catches something under his car that turbo is history. That mounting might meet the business end of some wild life or a pot hole ridge. Wouldn't that be something, knocks off the intake and sucks up a squirrel pancake. Now thats an alternative fuel source, wouldn't call it environmentally friendly though.

You had trouble putting in an intake, you have no business even worrying about a turbo

What is the advantage of putting the setup underneath the car and as far away from the engine as possible? It looks cool but why did you do that?

It's definately not a Maxima - note the live axle rear-end. That looks to be a Camaro or Firebird.
t's neat, but I have to question the 'why' of it? Maybe it's for that sleeper look when you have the hood open? Maybe there isn't enough room under the hood for a custom turbo set-up?
internetautomar - do you have a link to the original site? Maybe that would shed some light on the subject?

Cool pic non the less.
