Turbo idea
So im not planning to turbo my car atleast notanytime soon but i love my maxima and love to day dream and was thinking has anyone mounted a turbo under our cars by our test pipe/y-pipe area? Its seems like a cool idea and a great place for our sleeperish cars

Wrong section. Don't anger the sleeping mods lol

I believe it's been done successfully as Korn stated. I tossed the idea around in my head before going with a rear mount. I do believe that it possible and might even be cheaper than a rear mount because of less piping and shorter hosing. The only part that I had concerns with was the placement of a pump. I do believe you could fit a decent sized turbo with piping in the exhaust tunnel. I think you might need to build a shelf for lack of a better word in the tunnel to put a pump on. Unless you had two pumps which I ended up using anyway and sucked the turbo oil from turbo to the spare tire well then from the spare tire well to the motor. Or maybe mount two pumps in the engine compartment. Other then figuring out the oil situation I think it's possible but don't know if the extra work would be worth the headache.

See thats the only thing i saw that might be an issue( the oil lines). The ground clerance isnt an issue in my opinion because a good plate would protect the turbo an the piping wouldnt change. The intercooling piping maybe an issue but still doubt it. The oil lines, and size of turbo is the only things i see that could be an issue still a cool idea.
One headache I could see with the tunnel setup is maintenance. That and being able to see what's going on quickly without having to jack up the car and squeeze under. That location is probably one of the hardest spots to get to unless you jack both sides front and back so you have plenty of room to work. All this doesn't matter if you have a lift of course. Just a few reasons why I passed on it. I just couldn't come up with any advantage over putting it in the back.

Under the hood is great. People have done rear mount though. Check out some of the turbo 4th gens.
Like Matt said, under the hood is nice for easy access, let alone, shorter pipes and somewhat better ground clearance. You also don't have to worry about what goes into the turbo nearly as much. I just have mine open in the top corner of my bay.

Oh ok. Yea I have rmt setup. When I only had one pump it worked but was just barely enough. After splicing in pump two, forget about it. It's made a huge difference. Not to mention if one randomly stopped at least the other one would be running.

RMT is your nest option as was stated earlier.
A32 & A33's have very similar undercarriages, so that;s why i included the 2 4th gen links.

And then there's Mattx's.
