remote turbo
Thought this was cool
"Most components under the hood of today's vehicles were not designed to operate at this temperature. In order to place a turbo in an already overcrowded engine compartment it is necessary to do a lot more than just make some room for the turbo itself.
By mounting the turbo remote under the vehicle, STS has eliminated the heat problem. A remote mounted turbo runs cooler, with no additional lag and requires no major modifications to your vehicle.
The basic systems provide ~5 psi of boost, but with additional tuning and turbo upgrades the systems can produce near 20 psi of boost."

Nope no real problems with the people that have this set up. Matter of fact it's one of the option I'm weighing. 400+whp at 5lbs. of boost. boost comes on at 2700rpm. The pipe going back into the intake has a volume less than an aps front mount and piping on the wrx.

Yeah, these systems have been around for years. For a "cheater" system, it's a pretty slick setup, and most guys running cars with these kind of setups aren't daily-driving them, if you get my drift.

i would think that it would be prone to theft and damage from driving debris...
would be pretty lame to get a big-ol rock coming up and blowing off the waste gate or something else...
and the filter location is the lamest idea evAr!
