Now I know your a man that knows his onions as I’ve been a member on passion ford for many years, playing devils advocate here but what about people that mount remote turbos? Like that e39 m5 somewhere that has the turbos mounted under the back where the back boxes would be? would you really notice the delay due to the long pipework and the amount of exhaust before the turbos? I’ve always thought it was a bit pants fitting them so far away but that’s just my opinion.
Of course you could, it's a very different scenario...and you're adding huge lengths of pipe for all the wrong reasons.

But at the end of the day there's still a turbo there, it will still move air and it will still improve performance. But it will never be as efficient as one mounted close to an engine.

But many rear mounts originate because they're cheap...AND to bypass silly emissions rules in the US where you cannot tamper with any emissions equipment. So throw a turbo onto the back after it all...and somehow that's actually ok lol
