A rear mount setup could be interesting, but it tends to be better for higher displacement engines (the smallest engine they make a bolt on kit for is a 3.5 liter v6). Heat and exhaust volume are what spin that turbo, and exhaust gasses have cooled significantly by the time they get to the back of the car. Still, until we actually get to REALLY see how much room is available and where within the engine bay, it's anybodies guess.

I'd like to see somebody make a low pressure small turbo setup for this car with an air to water intercooler. One which places the water reservoir in the trunk, to help offset the added weight up front from the turbo.
