High Mounting Turbo

[Adz2332]

I have read through some other threads on this, so is there no benifet of high mounting a turbo? The only reason you would is because the aftermarket turbo wouldnt fit in the low mount position?

Its to burn holes in your bonnet for that 2F2F look.

External wast gates set ups can flow higher than low mount internal gate set ups. The other main advantage is that high mount set ups direct most of the heat to the road and the block instad of the engine bay and intake plumbing, wiring etc.
