UPP sells a pretty nifty twin turbo setup. It was what I was planning on buying until I found a single rearmount turbo for sale on this forum.

Does anyone make a single rear mount kit? Twins are overkill for me.

A single turbo can be overkill and twins can be a restriction. Sts uses twins because of the packaging.

They do make a decent kit.


But everytime I called and had a question no one would know the answer for some reason, should of thrown a red flag up but I learned a lesson the hard way.


Whatever you do if you do decide to go rear mount, DO NOT run that BS Tilton pump they had on their red car or the silver mile car that wrecked. That design doesn't work and even a brand new pump won't do what you need it to do to move oil to feed the turbo or back to the pan. Turbowerx Exa Pump will solve all of your oiling issues, let your motor feed the turbo and use the Exa Pump to return it to your pan problem solved.


I have a rear mount 91mm on my car and it has no issues spooling, so not sure what overkill means. A well built motor and good planning will take all the spool questions/worrries out of the equation.

Another vote for DANZGLASS'S buddy.

Thanks for the props! We are upping the boost next week. Hoping to get close to 900 before we run out of clutch/fuel/ or map.

I know your buddy did the work, but what would be a good guess on what it would cost to have him build another one?

If anyone needs custom turbo work in Florida, or custom exhaust work, whatever,...hit me up as well. Platform doesn't matter.
