You dont see it on new cars cause because the concept is new itself. Its not that it is less reliable, it does have limitations (no high water fording, etc) but it still makes boat loads of power.

Check out STS Turbo's website...there are PLENTY of cars/trucks out there that make just as much if not more power than their blown counterparts. Despite being further from the manifolds/headers, it can be tuned accordingly.

To each his own...but I am a big fan of the ease of install of the rear mount and know they make loads of power to boot...
