Let's talk remote mounted turbos...

I think lag could be negated with a properly sized turbine housing for the smaller amount of heat.

In reality though, lag even on giant T6 turbo's is a moot point. Anyone who's going to flog the car isn't going to do so from 1800rpm - you're going to floor the fuckign nuts off it.

IMHO though, there's way too much room in the engine bay to consider re-engineering the turbo system for this type of mounting.
