Depending how hardcore badass you were and how much money you had to spend, you could have one 3" or bigger pipe for the turbo and a 1.5"-2" pipe for the wastegate. It'd be kinda dumb to route it all the way out the back, but its an idea.

You didnt say that, all you said was inline engine

No reason for an inline NOT to have a fan on the exhaust anyways

Looks good, but somebody in this forum is on crack if he thinks that this car is faster than a elise on a road course! Best motoring is just biased over cars made in Japan, every single vid I saw from them is the same thing!! Like said in here already let's get some times at nurburgring!!
