[s-cars] Rear-mounted Squires Turbo System - good for S-cars?

[Aaron]

I have a few other questions about this system.
1 - Where do you find clean inlet air under the car in the rear exhaust 
area (especially on an offroad truck) without complex inlet / filter 
system. "Dude check my the bitchen chrome air filter coming up through 
the bed of my truck"
2 - Dont the long plumbing distances cause problems
3 - Why dont you need an intercooler?  Is this because of the relatively 
low boost levels? Is the heat really that much less a few feet away from 
the exh manifold?
Comments?
