Default Mounting a TURBO in the back seat???

Okay I like to be different. I want to turbo my car one day and they say the sts is good at stay cooler than a turbo around the engine. So would mounting it in the back seat(if possible) with the A/C on be a better way to go. I have a 01 t/a vert, I think it would be sick. I'm sorry if it's a dumb ? I just think of crazy stuff all the time.

Maybe I worded it wrong but I know I'll keep the ac, but I just figd the turbo would be cooler inside the car with the ac on than being outside in heat

Put down the beer, your talking about keeping a/c but your putting a turbo that gets over 1000 degrees in the back seat?

I've done some funny drunk posts in my day, but the a/c would not have a chance cooling the cabin with a turbo riding behind you lol.

at least you'll have heat so you can save weight and take some of the heating stuff out lol...better yet a/c vents for the cold air intake!

ive thought of building a street-race car(cheap lt1 body or third gen) with cutting up the backseat area and redoing the floor pan to allowing a turbo to hide under there ..........

i have seen a twin turbo mustang with the floor pan cut under the back seats to allow rooms for turbos to sit where the back seat were. But he had it all welded back up so the heat was not in the cabin area
