I think the big disconnect here is that a rear mount setup can be a nice bang/buck in the smiles-per-gallon kind of way as they can be super cheap and much less complex to install. The contingent who seem to believe there is no performance difference appears to be ignorant on the science of boosting and the data available to them. Lots of parroting hearsay and as SS said - facebook is rampant with this garbage. That's one thing that makes this community good (and sometimes bad) - when someone starts pushing that stuff with no real basis we usually shame them until they leave.
The biggest problem we have in this case is the usage of peak HP/TQ numbers to compare drastically different setups.
