rear mount turbo advantage in rx8's?
 

ive been thinking and suppoesdly the main issue with turbo renesis' is that the back pressure caused by a turbo creates hot spots in the 3rd exhaust port because of poor manufacter design. so my thinking was that with a rear mount turbo, possibly twin even, would reduce backpressure and therefore reduce heat at the exhaust port. do you guys think this would be an effective way to increase the life expectancy of a turbocharged renesis? i am aware of the immediate differences in lag and possible reduced throttle response with a poorly designed system, my question is centered on the health benefits for this particular engine. im interested to see what you guys think about this solution.

nope

Interesting thought .
This centre port thing ...... not an issue for a street driven /light track duty car . Only seems to be an issue when used in racing .

there are 4-5 people that have rear mounts
i havent found any issues with heat on my engine, actually it runs alot cooler then my previous supercharged version.
just get some good headers preferably ceramic coated, 3 inch exhaust and mount something like a gt30/35/60-1 or ballpark area into the muffler area.
the intercooler bearly sees heat with long boost times, and if it does its already cold by the time you stop.
