Let's talk remote mounted turbos...

Damn I'm good. Could you duct pipes/air for an intercooler back there?

one of the points of the remote turbo setup is the fact that you DONT need an intercooler!

The length of the pressure side pipe may seem like a lot, but in reality it is actually SHORTER than a FMIC setup, AND there is no need for one.

Second, there is no real need for almost ANY exhaust, you can run a header, an straight pipe to the turbo, and then a short straight pipe right out and to the atmoshpere.

The fintake pipe will most likely be the big problem, and you will need to mount it out of the way of water, which probably means putting it inside?

From what I remember reading on some thread, the oil cooling is also done separately in some cases.

That's about all I learned about it. Sounded stupid to me at first, then I read some thread about how it really isnt as bad as you would think, and while Im enlightened, im still never considering it...


I think a comprex supercharger would be cooler.

Yes, not to mention more sensible if all you are looking for is pep vs. big power.
