Lowmount = somewhat faster spool due to less piping, less heat BUT not enough physical space, and oil issues with your turbo
Topmount = BOSS look when you pop your hood, more space (can use bigger turbo), less issues getting oil to and from the turbo BUT drastically Increased heat in engine bay and you take up a lot of room ... for example with a top mount, battery relocation to the trunk is a must; with a low mount, it is not
Oil drainage issues back into your pan when the turbo is too low ... go use the search function and read about different kits man

Errr, you're both right and wrong.... the issue with oiling was mainly for the Greddy turbo, and it was due to speed of drainage versus the volume of oil going into the turbo.... no matter the mounting location if you drown the CHRA in oil, you'll blow the seals.
