Rear Turbo Build SC400

You do know that a rear mount turbo requires a high power electric pump on the oil drain to pump the oil back to the engine oil pan.
These are typically expensive and you want a quality one/setup otherwise as said above you cook the turbo or cause oil pressure issues elsewhere if something goes wrong.
If you don't have money for an intercooler you don't have money to do a rear mount turbo which requires a lot of custom welding/piping/routing and setup of the oil return system.
The one thing you can eliminate is the intercooler, but you are adding a bunch of other stuff, so just warning you the oil pump you will need will cost much more than an intercooler.
Remote mount is not a bad idea lots of motors with larger displacement like corvettes etc.. use it, but its not inexpensive.
also a good way to boost a 1uz in a sc400 is the fish supercharger bracket if you haven't heard of it.

I don't think the supercharger is too crowded and most people put the battery in the trunk anyways.
I wouldn't worry about heat as much as someone taking a sawzall to your exhaust and taking your turbo (I think the spare tire area was probably used for that reason).
Still I would like to see the remote mount setup, good luck let us know how it goes.

. My only question about putting it in the spare tire well was would heat from the turbo building up in that area...and would that would probably make my trunk unusable which is a problem. And the fact that I wouldn't have a spare tire...

You can get an universal intercooler and piping from cxracing from around $200-250......
If you cant afford an intercooler why are you going to turbo the 1uz.....doesnt make sense to skimp on parts if you dont have the money to due it right to begin with...
Turbocharging any car is expensive....IMO id save up more money

Black1uz here's a vid of the Aussie guys soarer on the dyno. Unfortunately there's no number of HP or torque.

He did have some oiling issues. I believe oil was not draining back quite as fast as it should have been. I think he has resolved the issue now

He made 375rwhp @ 12psi with supposedly 600 lb ft of torque.

Do you mean like the Prochargers that are self lubricating? I've never heard of a self lubricating turbo, and heat is the reason for oiling systems....otherwise youre going to fry your turbo. The oiling system is actually probably the easiest part of the whole setup...its just braided lines and you can tap into the oil pan if you want to.

Are they reliable and would heat still be an issue? Seems like the turbo wouldn't be able to cool its self without some way of cycling fluid through it that wasn't already hot.
