Alex S/Cing doesn't mean better MPG. The way our S/Cs are set up that under light throttle conditions we arn't using any boost. Thats why the MPG are the same from GT to GTP.

Is it just me or does it seem like that filter is going to get real dirty real fast? Also, that is one crazy idea their. Whats next? Maybe the turbo in the middle of the car with the filter inside the cabin?

I've mentioned this to a couple of people, and the first thing they have noticed is the filter placement, in the rear pointing back, which would cause more of a vacuum out of the intake tube, at speed, instead of allowing air to flow efficiantly in the tube.

I think the draw of the turbo would over come any vacuum created by the car. The only other thing to do would be to put a NACA scoop in the fender. I'm assuming this is out of the question if he put the turb there because he didn't wanna lose the stock hood.

The turbo will be affected by having to overcome the vacumn created. Hence the word "overcome."

I saw why not just put it in the cabin. That thing has got to sound cool. Good conversation piece too.

It has nothing (or very little) to do with fit... read the site.

As for Turbo vs Supercharger... the arguement has run on for decades and my only answeer is this..

Top Fuel Dragsters Run SUPERCHARGERS! and they go 1320 feet faster than most Turbos can get to 60MPH

I am a Supercharger lover and always will be laugh

The correct SC for the correct car can be just as good if not better than a Turbo!

On a GP, you can mount the turbo in the back.
Here is some more info.

A turbo and super charger are both forced induction systems. Turbos are operated by exhaust gasses and do not use any of the engines horsepower to operate. As for turbo lag, well there are safe and cheap, ie $10-15, ways to take care of turbo lag. Superchargers are belt driven, just like your air conditioner. As with anything else that is belt driven, they do require using some engine horsepower to operate, but there is no lag. As for exhaust size, on a turbo car, bigger is better. While n/a engines require some amount of backpressure to run right, turbo engines do not.
