Default There's no such thing as too little backpressure in a turbo car. The turbo provides more....

restriction, and thus back pressure, than any exhaust after it ever could. Hell, you coulc run open pipes after the turbo and have no back pressure problem. In fact, you want the lowest pressure after the turbo possible as it helps facilitate moving air through the turbo itsself. Ideally, a vacuum after the turbo would be best.
