Therefore, the turbo is often bolted directly on to the exhaust manifold. The exhaust outlet is in the centre of the turbine housing and leads off to the exhaust pipe.

Can you mount a turbo anywhere?

STS Turbo overcomes the challenges of traditional installations by mounting the turbo in a remote location such as in place of the stock muffler, down low in the chassis, or even in the bed of a truck—basically it can be mounted anywhere since oil return is handled by our patented oiling system.

Does turbo mount to intake or exhaust?

Usually, traditional turbochargers mount to the engine's exhaust manifold under the hood, if there is space available, and it can cope with the heat. This is where a remote-mount turbo or a rear-mounted turbo differs as it is fitted much further down the exhaust pipe.
