a rear mount is in no way as efficient as a front mount. remember, the longer you pump a fluid, the more frictional loss will occur. if you look at a front and rear mount turbo, both with the same rotor diameter, rpm and flow rate, the front mount will be more "efficient."
now, if you are talking mechanical eficiency (which i do not think you are) then you are correct. the mechanical efficiencies would be equal.
