looks like you have the creativity to see it... and the knowhow to perform it... just what direction you want to take.
to me you should at least consider rear mounting...
from that STS site
Lower underhood temperatures. No need to worry about melting wires, hoses, or other engine components, as with a front-mounted turbo. critical
Performance Sound. The turbo acts as a muffler and sounds like an aftermarket performance muffler. Turbo spool and rushing air from the blow-off valve make a unique sound that will turn heads!
More room under the hood. Future repair work or modifications will not require the expense of removing the turbo system to allow access to engine components. very critical...lol
lower turbo temperatures. Eliminates the need for a turbo-timer, which allows the engine to run after the car is shut off in order to cool down the turbo and prevent oil and bearing damage.
a whole lot less work seems to be involved.
as far as water is concerned there's probably a whole lot less of it back there than anywhere
and a shield for debris

heres more from that site about rear mount.... of course thats their system but it could be balanced in your garage with tweeks...
listen you have lag with the conventional setup the system has to be tweeked under the best of conditions.
i'm just saying save yourself a ton of labor... but to each his own.
Denser exhaust gasses drive the turbo turbine wheel more efficiently.
Turbo is exposed to ambient air rather than underhood air. Allows for better cooling of turbo components.
No need for expensive headers, mufflers, or exhaust systems.
Turbo is closer to the tail pipe outlet. Provides a better pressure differential across the turbine wheel which promotes better flow across turbine.
Better weight transfer. Increases traction because the bulk of system is mounted in rear of vehicle rather than up front.
Less noise and heat in the passenger compartment.
this guy didnt seem to have any problems...
