Turboing a b16 '89 CIVIC

Ok heres the story, my friend has a b16 civic, and now hes getting a turbo put in, but heres where i think hes screwed. The guy putting the turbo in has decided that the turbo is gonna go underneath where the spare tire sits, because the turbo is too big for under the manifold. now i might not know much about turbos but i think that this is not gonna work at all, can anyone back me up, or give me sum input.

Maybe they are putting the battery in the back by the spare tire to make room for the turbo in the engine bay?

I think that you have been fed some very very wrong information

his turbo in the spare tire well wtf is this babble? if you need more room it be the rad support probbly cutting out A/C condenser will help. yea someone was smoking rock and shouldn't be near a car if there putting a turbo in spare tire well.

Um that would work fine, all you need to do is put the engine in the back. Put the turbo like coming out of the hood, itll look cool and work.

no thats what there doing. thanx i knew it was dumb, and trust me i tried telling him it wont work at all, but he dont wanna listen, so im just gonna wait for the car to go no where,

Not to go against everyones word here but it can be done and has been. If no one believes me im sure i can find pics. It was a domestic too by the way. Its definitly stupid but its possible.

wow, im guessing its gonna be kinda loud in the car with the turbo spooling and all.
