I kind of like the idea of putting the turbo in the rear. Since you really don't need a muffler you could put right behind the rear end center section at the very begining of the muffler tunnell and then run pipes and tips out the normal exit. since I don't hit my muffler, I don't think a turbo is in any danger.
