They are still out there. I've seen the ISP top mount, Forced Air Incution's crazy setup, I think Peakboost has a top mount, more I can't think of.

Forward facing is the hype now.

More weight for higher than center of gravity? More heat to deal with when you open up the hood. I don't know. :}

A gent named Kevin Jewer used a compound setup on his RWD 1G drag car. This is the same style the AMS had been working with but implemented like the diesels use it.

yeah, tt has been out for a while... and someone up top said boost lag would be crazy. well honestly boost lag would be taken care of due to the smaller turbo kickin in the larger of the two. BMW has been doing it on their race cars for a while and of course their new production model does the job.. There's pretty much no lag...
