If you're going to correct someone's grammer, do it right. Sentences don't start with "and" or "but". That's "Busch league".
As for the rear mount turbos, I agree with phunk. It will work, but why? If you are really that concerned with cost, you shouldn't be modifying your car.

I only brought it up because it was one of the issues long discussed on the thread. It is good to know it will be an intercooled setup.
I am one who thinks that, given the right valves and piping, the turbos exist today to get the PSI to the right level even on a remote mount. And, in respect to location, I think there is plenty of space to tuck it in and even protect it with some vented plate. So I don't see big dificulties with getting this working. Also, consider that those camaros have a longer body than our car, which is way shorter than most of their other applications, so to STS probably it doesn't seem that far to go.
How about air vents on the upper rear fenders?

The only way I can see around efficient intercooling on a turbocharged engine (on pump fuel) is if the turbo lag is that bad in the mid rpm range that the engine makes little boost around peak torque - that really helps though you still have to run a massively retarded ignition timing strategy in the high rpm to avoid engine detonation.

STS is very possible, but why fix something that not broken? The STS turbo that my friend uses on his WS6 puts out 505/540whp/trq..which is good but that could've been done with a weak supercharger. The front mount turbos put the WS6 in the 600-800whp range depending on internals which is a big difference.

I think you're mistaken. I can't see a company like Mercedes in 2006 turbocharging a gasoline engine without extremely efficient intercooling - nor a company like Porsche - nor any car manufacturer that I can think of for that matter.
