Now that is a family sleeper i could have.

That's just insane... I love it

With the turbos positioned away from the engine bay, there’s no real need for an intercooler.

You catch that? Wonder if it has something to do with them mounted closer to the rear of the car and maybe cooling a bit more?

625hp on a turbo LS setup is low boost.

This.

No need for an intercooler with 4-5 psi

I was going to say, 625 seemed low. Usually when I see the words twin turbo and LS it is pushing closer to 1000 hp.

Was thinking that as well.

This makes sense. What I quoted from the article does not

Agreed - turbo position has almost nothing to do with resulting intake air temps and much more to do with compressor design and pressure ratio. Though obviously cooler air into the turbo is always a good thing.

But...but.....sts turbo says it's fine.

I think this guy has some good points.

Rear turbo setups are good on Lamborghinis
