Check this out. A turbo in the back of the sled. This sled was extremely fast. It was hanging and beating full on drag 900 cats that had there cooling system in an actual cooler.

Tim Bender and Bender Racing started this back in about 2002 with the start of the 2003 Yamaha RX-1. It's an easy setup that doesn't require the owner to lose fuel tank capacity with a front mount, plus they can use an independent oiling system to lube the turbo. The intercooler is actually a charge pipe that allows the track to throw ice and snow directly on it for cooling. They are a clean setup and keeps from a cluster from under the hood, but still lacks in performance as compared to a "front mount" system. Great for trail, mountains, and moderate horsepower levels. I think Bender Racing had a Stage III kit with a Garrett GT2860RS Turbo that made around 325-350-ish horsepower. Still quite a few turbo companies using this rear-mount system on the 4-strokes: FFP, OSP, MCX, MPI, Ulmer, and ect.
