RE: d16Z6 turbo
I saw this one guy who put TWO turboed engines in an old beetle. One to drive the front wheels and one to drive the rear wheels... I guess that's one way to get 4 wheel drive. I have no clue how he got it to run properly (in synch). Totally ridiculous setup. But, it was kind of a joke car though...

RE: d16Z6 turbo
I used to own one...gotta tell you that I miss that thing. The engine in there is a Mitsubishi 4 and is simply outstanding. I think that there was a certain time when almost all cars in mopar's lineup had a turbocharged version.

BTW, did you now that there are caravans that are turbocharged from factory! I saw one earlier this week in a junk yard

Well first of all, and after-cat turbo is a unique idea, but you should take a few things into consideration:
1) How in the world would you run the piping to your intercooler and filter? Those pipes are thick (much thiker than the exhaust pipes)
2) CAT produces a lot of backpressure, therefore restricting the airflow. I don't think you'll get enough air in the turbine to produce desired results.
I suggest to sell your header and go for a standard turbo setup. Your friends will probably hear your turbo spooling and blow off. Another thing is that there is no way around plumbing. When you pop the hood, your friends will see the pipes going from the turbo (the intake pipe will be much bigger than the OEM one. Another issue is the intercooler (you may get away without one if you don't run above 6psi, but I don't think it's a very good idea. Also, if you got a lowered car, you could damage the turbine if you hit a pothole or something. Therefore, if anything, try putting a turbo somewhere before the cat

Hey.............There is more then enough room for a turbo and intercooler under the back bumper.
I say.......................DO IT!!!!!
(with lots of pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

And for everyone's info, the remote mount turbo set-up is not such a unique idea - they do it on trucks now.

RE: d16Z6 turbo
Not sure if it would be a good idea to mount the i/c in the rear bumper area. Notice that on almost every FI car, the intercooler is mounted in a place where there's the most airflow from the outside (i/c would work more efficiently). Just look at cars like evo's, wrx's and srt's. You will also need long pipes for the i/c if you put it in the back. I would imagine that you would get faster airflow if your pipes are shorter. Just think, you would have to run a pipe from the turbo to the back of the car amd then back to the engine bay to reach the intake manifold.

RE: d16Z6 turbo
mounting the intercooler in the REAR bumper?? In order for this to work, you are gonna have to make scoops to get air flow into the rear bumper... Not a good idea. In front, low to the ground is the optimal position fo intercoolers..
Someone might argue that the rear doesn't have an engine that will heat of the air near the i/c... in heat transfer, temperature is secondary to air flow. I'm not gonna do the calculation but for example, you will get better heat transfer from 1km/h air flow than 10 deg difference in temperature.
