I was thinking about that today...

Two small snail turbos behind each log manifold, neatly coming up and over the valve covers into a surge tank (like the SRT, only backwards)... or even both feeding into a 74mm Y-pipe, dumping into the throttle body like the single Needswings. Plug the MAF in, run a resistor to the MAF cable to bypass the rising rate crap with the MAF, and VOILA!

That would be tidy, easy install and keeps the boost lag (a problem with rear-mounts) to a minimum.

My *only* issue with rear-mount systems is the clearance... After seeing Eric's piping take a hit on the Devil's Triangle, I'm a bit nervous about hanging pipes under there.

I plan on working on some sketches to integrate the E-320 enginge cover used commonly with the NW intakes... Nestling a BOV in the cavity seems like a perfect filler for the otherwise unsightly hole.
