turbo on an 80

[silver 80]

Has anyone ever seen a rear mounted turbo I'm talking at the rear of the vette under the fuel tank? E-bay has one, it's different. I tried to attach a pic hope it worked

I've seen that setup before for F bodies,and wondered how i could make it work for my Corvette.
First it would take a swap to fuel injection.Second you would have to switch to single exaust.(pre 75)Last the oil pump and the long lines to feed oil to the turbo kind of scare me.
It would be a cool setup if someone was willing to try it.

it's on a carb vette. check out e-bay 1980 corvette he has some pics.

Those setups lose a LOT of exhaust heat/density/velocity by the time the gases get to the turbo - probably 50% efficient at best, and a plumbing nightmare. :eyerole
