[QUOTE="DMassey, post: 14667769, member: 26299"] There are 3 things that I like about low-mounted turbos: 1. lower center of gravity 2. in the case of a V8 car they are mounted more "directly" to the manifold, and more so truly inline with the exhaust. In my mind you have better exhaust velocity here which would spool up the turbos quicker, thus reducing any turbo lag. 3. a cleaner engine bay, as I've always been one of those sleeper guys who likes to hide stuff LOL But having said that, I hate everything else about a low mount turbo. The use of an oil pump itself brings up issues. Working the cold side piping is going to be something to behold. Any future turbo maintenance will now require a little more labor. Etc. Etc. [/QUOTE]
