Remote turbos has been around for awhile. It makes since for V6, V8 engines because its about 1/3rd the cost of a real turbo setup. Although with its sacrifices. You will find people putting these on their cars are people who run Nitrous as one of their first and foremost mods. It wont make since to most of us as we are a different breed....

However, argue all you want about throttle response/turbo lag. It bitchslaps anything on the market $ vs HP gains.

Its just not going to fly for the serious turbo heads out there. Sadly we maybe make up 30% if best of the market, so the remote turbo should become a popular solution given it doesn’t get to much negative publicity from uneducated boostaholics.
