    Im not saying they are commonly seen, I'm saying its a common kit that people make these days.

    It'd definately be a first in a maverick I'm sure

    if running a smaller turbo into a larger turbo to decrease spool up time, there isn't much lag to be seen, also, with it in the rear, there isn't a necessity for an intercooler since the most of the heat dissapates before it ever reaches the carb. Plus all the residual heat under the hood you would have had is now gone.

    I'm in the middle of doing a swap on a transam

    the induction piping usually runs along the exhaust piping. an intercooler would be a smart choice. i already have one so why not???lol.

    and an inline turbo set up like that is very interesting thought but i have never seen one on a rear turbo set up. i could possibly run a 16g into a larger borge and that would be quick spooling.
