Thought that was gonna be a joke, but I like it!

That's also a good way to help distribute weight from the front of the car.

Thats also a real good chanch of hurting yourself!!!!!!!!

I'm always surprised at how well the remote mount turbos work. I bet they'll be a lot more popular in the near future.

cool setup!

one of the plusses of a remote turbo setup like that is the exhaust gases tend to be cooler by the time they hit the turbo, this combined with the amount of piping from the turbo back to the engine means an charge air cooler isn't required. Saves weight and distributes it better.

I like the concept. too bad its probably expensive as balls to mount turbos back there with all the fabrication and oil/water lines that would have to be run.

Colder exhaust gas into the turbo is a negative. Air charge cooling is still required. It probably on the whole weighs more, but does distribute it better. Fabrication of remote mount is far easier, and I doubt they are using water cooled turbos.

I think it would probably be less expensive to do a remote mount since you can pretty much use the existing exhaust for most of the hot side plumbing and the engine bay wouldn't be as tight to work in with the turbo's mounted else where. The main "extra" expenses would be the auxiliary oil pump and the extra cold side piping.

I think you'll find that most people who have turbo's would disagree that cooler exhaust gas is a "plus".
