to each his own but Im not a fan of butt mounted turbos unless you absolutely have no room in the engine compartment.
I agree that would be the optimal way to go but the point of this is to come up with a cheaper alternative quickly. Not everyone wants to spend 10k for a twin turbo. In the end this might just be a blueprint for the DIY guy, handing out a parts list and where to buy them to people. It also might require prefabing some or the entire setup as a kit, don't know. The purpose here is to see if can be done with cheaper parts and still hold up. That's why the 408. Stress this thing way beyond what the normal guy is going to be doing and also prove that it can run with or out run the high end manufactured kits.
Here's the thing, right now there are some individuals and a few performance shops doing exactly this for the GTO. And by that I mean building more affordable twin turbos for the GTO. But its taken since 2004 for people to do start doing this. There were some shops like OFI that came out with a single engine mounted turbo kit for the GTO...but that got screwed up just like the f-body setup they made. So maybe we can jumpstart this effort for the people and not waste a few years...and a few dollars,

their design makes sense. by keeping the turbine(s) out of the engine bay, it will keep the excess heat out of it as well. when they first came out with their set up for trucks, a lot of people were skeptical, then they bought it, tried it and i have heard nothing but great things.
ill be looking into this type of kit when the time comes and plan on building my camaro so that the parts i put on wont affect a forced induction type set up (either T/C or S/C)
A few pros in favor of rear mounted twin turbos for those not in the know:
-Lower underhood temps (mentioned above)
-Virtually no turbo lag with smaller twin setup versus single larger turbo
-No mufflers needed due to noise reduction of exhaust gasses
-No intercooler needed due to longer intake charge piping (although lower temps possible with IC added)

hit the nail on the head man
