I worked with a guy at Lockheed in Santa Clara that had the STS kit on his LS1 and it hauled ***. As for lag - I could not detect any, probably beacuse the car had a sh!tload of torque to begin with...

One drawback would be that the further away the turbo is positioned from the engine exhaust ports, the exhaust has already expanded and cooled down to some degree by the time it travels to the rear axle area. Gas velocity spins that turbo impeller. Coatings and wrap will help somewhat.

One advantage to a remote-mounted turbo is that no heat is radiated from the turbo into the engine bay, thereby helping to reduce the temperature of the air/fuel charge before it enters the engine. On the turbo EJ20 and EJ25, that big lump of steel acts like a heat sink and even coatings cannot contain all of the radiated heat introduced to the nearby stock intercooler and intake manifold.

This is an interesting idea. Thanks for posting.
