IDK, help!
Sorry, hope I didn't just go full retard  |
Where the turbo is mounted doesn't really matter. It can even be mounted at the rear of the vehicle.
All FI is, by definition, pushing (forced) air into the engine (induction). To pull air through the engine would require a partial vacuum on the exhaust side - not very practical.
If you are referring to superchargers, they are usually mounted with one end toward the front of the engine so they can use the front drive belt for power.
