Turbo's top vs bottom mount
Posted: Tue May 07, 2013 10:32 pm
Hey guys, I'm looking into building a 4g63 rwd track car.
I want to keep it simple and relatively cheap (ie stock engine/ecu).
However few places I have seen different engines/manifolds for sale and some are top mount turbo's and some are bottom.
I know factory is bottom mount, was just wondering if there was any power/performance/better reason to have either one.
Only difference I could think of is airflow in a top mount for rwd.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers
Matt
