question: if the 44mm WG wont fit is there any performance drawbacks to remote mounting the 44mm, basically running a tube from the vband on the housing to the wg thats mounted down the line or a convenient location or something ?

The problem with that would be buying the special turbo housing would be pointless then??

Yes couldn't think of any reason why that wouldn't work

Also when the freezing rain stops I can run out and actually measure the WG

No, you can find places that make 44mm to 44mm 90* adapters. You are bleeding off pressure. As long as it stays 44mm pipe you should be ok.
