Are rear mount turbos laggy?

Since Turbochargers can sometimes lag, or suffer from a condition known as Turbo Lag, a rear-mounted turbo system should ideally be applied to an engine no smaller than 4.0L. Torque-deficient, 4 cylinder engines get difficult & frustrating to drive if turbo-lag is too high.

What is the purpose of a rear-mounted turbo?

Having a turbo rear-mounted means that as the charge air from the turbocharger travels back to the engine, it is simultaneously cooled by the ambient air running underneath the car, saving the need for an intercooler.

Do rear mount turbos need intercoolers?

Second, most rear mount turbochargers don’t require a dedicated intercooler, because the charge is cooled by the ambient air passing alongside the piping that sends it back to the engine once it’s been compressed.

Can you put turbo on exhaust pipe?

No. Turbochargers need pressurized exhaust gas to expand in its turbine. Placement of a turbo is a very tricky business. If you place a turbo just next to the exhaust manifold, though the pressure will be largest in this case but it also result in large back pressure too.

Does a turbocharged car have headers?

The individual components of an exhaust system include the exhaust manifold (header) for naturally-aspirated engines, exhaust manifolds (turbo manifolds) and downpipes for turbocharged engines. Both turbo and non-turbo vehicles will have an intermediate pipe (B-pipe), catalytic converter, exhaust piping and muffler.

Do you need an exhaust with a turbo?

Turbo will only work when there’s enough exhaust gases flowing through it. Without exhaust gases, the turbine won’t get spooled and the turbo won’t have power to do its work. Exhaust gases spin the turbine in turbo to power it up.

At what revs does turbo kick in?

Sequential turbocharging works by pairing a small turbo making power from, say, 2,000 to 4,000 rpm, and a second turbo that takes over from 4,000 to 6,000 rpm, effectively making for an engine with a huge operating boost.

Why do Turbos have 2 exhausts?

The main reason for having a dual exhaust system is to get the leftover air out of the cylinders faster so that the next exchange can start quicker. If you have a turbocharged four cylinder, dual exhaust will make a significant difference because of the amount of air and fuel forced into the engine by the turbo.

What is STS turbo rear mount Multi-Fit?

STS Releases Twin Turbo Rear Mount Multi-Fit Kits! STS Turbo overcomes the challenges of traditional installations by mounting the turbos in the rear of the vehicle in place of the stock mufflers (on some vehicles).

What is a rear-mount Turbo?

This is the entire premise behind a rear-mount turbo design, which mounts the snails wherever is convenient but usually as close to the muffler tips outlets as possible to make exhaust routing simpler. If playback doesn’t begin shortly, try restarting your device.

Are rear-mounted turbo engines worth the hassle?

Forums are littered with arguments over rear-mounted turbo systems and whether they’re worth it, and in most cases the general rule is that they are not worth the hassle.

Why choose STS Turbo’s turbocharger?

Multiple design and engineering awards have been given for this innovative design. STS Turbo’s remote-mounted turbocharger systems have been recognized around the world as the most innovative technology available for dramatically increasing the horsepower of any vehicle.
