Rear turbo PROS & CONS

Been thinking about this for sometime now. It seems like it would be easier then a traditional front install. Would the distance from the rear of the car to the front where the air is delivered cause a problem with compression lose from the air raveling so far? Is it even possible in a Legend? It would certainly look nice. Any other input on this?

Is there any company that does make the manifold for turbos on Legends? Haven't been able to find much info on it. I'm considering buying a jdm motor and building it outside and eventually swapping it with the original which just hit 245,00 yesterday. Or possibly buying an entirely different legend type ll. So many damn possibilities. I'm leaning towards a different one and just keep raking up the miles and see how long she lasts. I'd love to have a 2 door.

No there's no turbo kit made for a legend you would have to have it custom built. You can try Telion but im not sure as he has a lot on his plate right now. As far as rotor screw soak it down with some bp blasted for about 3-5 min then tap the screw it should come out
