Re: Turbo question.

If you feel like running everything to the back of the car, then knock yourself out. Just FYI, there's not a lot of space to do all that. Also seems like when you have turbo back there, the turbo drain line is suddenly lower than the oil pan, causing the oil to back up back to the turbo and cause excess wear bearings. Easier and better IMO to mount off the manifold, but again, entirely your call. Run a non-restrictive exhaust and you can hear the turbo just as loud out the back then too.
