these turbo systems - SKS turbo systems - are completely legal in that they are mounted behind the car's catalytic converter. Yes, no?
Thanks.

 

Not sure if it matters whether the turbo is rear mount or not... I have seen a rear mount where the turbo is under the rear bumper on a GTO application... Sneaky as hell. Charge piping just looks like a CAI pipe as it disappears behind the front bumper (if no FMIC is run). And I think its STS, not SKS... but i could be wrong.

Here is a link to the GTO kit I was referring to. I think like the 3rd or 4th pic shows the snail back near the rear tire...

I think legality changes from state to state... Any kit can be "legal" (see Greddy, and that is a normally mounted application).

It's not a SKS, but STS. They work best on large displacement engines that don't have a problem in low end torque to start with.

SKS is a soviet semi-automatic battle rifle in 7.62x39

 

Also Chinese and Yugoslavian. The Russians are the best made though.

 

i agree. it'll take extra time to have the air get to the turbo, there isn't a point having that setup on a 4 banger. only other setup like this I've seen are on the prototypes at le man races.

 

sts turbo?

 

HUGE LONG CHARGE PIPE.....exttttttra bad lag. No go on the S2000. SKS is a fun gun for the money though

Ive seen rear mounted inter cooler as well on these ONCE. It was flat mounted...well rather at a 45 degree.
