Where the turbo is located

[Unaturally_Asperated]

I have a question? I dont have any room to mount a turbo so I was wonder if I could mount it behind the The muffler if it was staight piped with only a muffler and no ehaust leaks. Or would it fuck the spool up way bad if it was behind a high flow muffler?? I know that STS kits are like this but I dont if you can have a muffler with it.

you cannot run the turbo after the muffler. You need to delete the muffler, otherwise you will just have HUGE lag. Air is too compressible........

So it has to come straight off the headers to a down pipe and now muffler at all no matter what?

the optimal arrangement is the smallest volume between the turbo and the piston. Anything extra adds lag. A muffler is a HUGE volume and you will likely tear it apart at the seams. You can basically replace the muffler with the turbo, which is a pretty common DIY approach. Works pretty well too.
