    Default Where's the best place to mount a turbo in a VP V6?

    Like the title says where's the most common place an average sized turbo is mounted? I've mostly seen them where the air box is or battery. Has anyone done a low mount one like behind the steering rack?

    Think about the position of the intercooler/intercooler piping and the difficulty in making exhaust manifolds. I would put it behind one of the headlights, or behind the radiator as mentioned before.

    Were your old Air intake box sits. If you do Dynos or 1/4 miles you can take the headlight out for better airflow for the turbine that sucks air.
    Like the V6 vengeance car.
