I can attest to that. My clutch is nearly toast but the NA tranny is still perfect.

The problem with a remote mount on an FC is space. Have you been under the car to see where you could put one? It would have to be all the way in the back (in one of the muffler spaces). Now that the turbo is back there, you have to plumb intake piping all the way back to the front, most likely occupying the same space that the HOT exhaust is already filling.

Doesn't seem like something I would want to attempt when a 6 port turbo is so easy to do.
