There really isn't a hp loss because they mount a different turbo at the rear vs the front. It's a complete package and if it's designed for 100 hp then they put a turbo in that will make 100 hp. Obviously, the same turbo mounted at the rear will make less powere than the same turbo mounted up front, but that's why they run a different turbo in the rear. No need for an intercooler so it can run more boost than the same turbo mounted up front. I would rather have a pair of front mount turbos than run all the extra stuff for a rear mount. If was gonna run extra piping under the car, it would have to be for a true dual exhaust setup, not a rear turbo. But that's just me.
