Turbo under the Trunk!

We all know Subaru Tmic's have extremely large amounts of heatsoak and if you run front mounts you loose the ability of the bumper beam since it gets completely removed from the car. After searching around, I found this site that mounts the turbocharger underneath the TRUNK! And OMFG it sounds ####ing dope! Of course if this kit was made for a subaru you would actually loose the up-pipe since the headers would basically be a N/A header on a turbo car. So ####ing looking into this!!!!!

Not really!

A correct front mount set-up should have smaller pipes coming off the turbo and larger pipes coming off the intercooler.

If you can create the correct size pipe from the turbo to intercooler it won't have anymore lag vs a fmic. You can go from the turbo at the back of the car into a 1 inch pipe and move it extremely fast.
