turbo 6 bangers post here

With the clearance issues you might have in positioning a turbo to allow for power steering AND an A/C compressor and all the plumbing for those systems, a rear-mount turbo back by the back bumper might be the best answer for you. There would be a lot of cold-side fabrication, for sure, but I have heard that those systems work well, and, doing it that way would free up a LOT of room under the hood.

Food for thought....:coffee2:

I have thought about that and might have to go that way. I have a 66 more door dart and a hydraulic /6 out of a truck that I will be using that I can strip all the top rusted metal off of and just have the frame rails, rocker panels,floor(what's left of it anyway) inner fenders/core support and assorted stuff still left on there to mock things up.
I was worried about the reliability of the 12v oil scavenger pump though. Anyone ever used one and what is a good model to get? But other than that it would make things a LOT easier to plumb in the engine compartment. and I'm thinking umm 2.5 to 3 inch cold side being mandrel bent to snake back up right by the hot side pipe at the muffler shop.so bassically 2 pipes running down to the turbo and 1 the rest of the way to the rear...
hmm is it after the muffler? or before? looks like I might have to find something that fit's after the Axle to make it work right. I'll have to look into that some more now that you mention it! THANKS

hmm where to put the muffler before or after the turbo?

DANG that'd be sort of sleeper style too! I wonder what size turbo would fit in that area? bet it would need an internal waste gate to keep the size down and allow the pump to be close by.

ok I was thinking of something similar to this coming out the rear without the dual tip please

whatcha think?
