Is that thing for real?! Is there a story associated with it?

I would be keen to know more about the person who thought this would honestly work!

Rear mounted turbos are popular with the Corvette crowd. Apparently lag isn't an issue....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtkpLNocL-Q

That sounds about right... Its 5700cc.... If the engine is warmed up... you can get in excess of 1000hp on pump gas..... And way more on meth :)

If you check MX4000's details ,you should be able to tell what Jeremy has done ,and it did it well !!.
From what i understand it was not a laugh for the expensive cars getting passed at Ruapuna by a scruffy looking MX5.
Shame the motor was getting tired and didn't last too long.
Ask MX4000 for better details if you want too know more if he is keen to tell the tale.

Thanks Mark.

Thinking of putting the turbos on one more time. Either that or get rid of the horrible race clutch. Anyway - no intercooler, miss matched turbos, boost from about 3000 rpm, no real lag, 285 hp atw at 5 psi. (same as LS1). New install will be fully upgraded - matching old subaru turbos and 7 psi!.
