Usually with a STS turbo setup, there is no muffler.

I did search, I geuss I failed. lol
I was mostly looking into a way to mount a turbo in a diffrent location, other than behind the engine. I figured if one was mounted @ the back of the car, then you could possably mount a turbo in the fender. It looks like there is plenty of room, it would probably be a PITA and there would be driling required, but I think it would work out well. It would keep engine and intake temps down a bit, and if you opt for vented fenders, would allow for extra cooling for the turbo. I think the benafits would outweaigh the work involved.

If you want to turbocharge, do it the normal way and save money and time lol.
