Turn it up loud, ignore the odd American shouting and whooping, never let me hear the line "911's sound crap" and most of all, wait for the Black Carrera GT and Enzo, that's all I have to say!

 
Has anyone seen the video where an american tuning company (I think it was STS) install some remote turbochargers to what I think was a Corvette Z06.

The video showed the installation of the turbos followed by clips of the car on the road. It must have been about a year since I last saw it but I can't for the life of me find it now.

Carrera GT ? hell yes ?

911 flat 6 ? not so much. I can appreciate the racecar like high rev noise, but i just dont think it sounds as good as the rumble from a V8.

whats a remote turbo?

Remote mounted - more commonly known as rear mounted - turbos are those that are typically fitted further back in the exhaust system (under the boot floor typically) due to space, heat or installation issues in the engine bay.

isnt the point of the turbo to compress the air going into the engine, not out ?

even if the air pressure on the other side is higher, it wont have the same effect as compression on the inlet cycle will it ?

Was it this one?


Not a Z06 though, despite what they say. You think they'd know!

It's still driven by the exhaust gases, and compressing the intake charge! :) Exactly the same setup as normal, just with the turbocharger located at the back, as opposed to the front :)
 
Yea - instead of the turbocharger being bolted to the exhaust manifold in the engine bay, then feeding the exhaust gases back into the rest of the exhaust system, it's instead bolted to the end of the exhaust instead, pretty much dumping the exhaust gases straight out the back of the car :)

Picture it as replacing your rear silencer box with a turbocharger....

This does also mean you have to have a long intake tract running from the turbocharger at the back, to the intake system in the engine bay at the front, and a separate oiling system to lubricate and cool the turbocharger.
