I don't know if this has been discussed before, but this is a very unique idea. I wonder what the lag would be on this kind of set-up. They make set-ups like this for other vehicles too. Just imagine driving behind an Acura and seeing an air filter sticking out from underneath. |

Re:Ghetto or not? Hmmmm...

I can careless about that part, my main concern is... Oh ---- boss, I think its raining!
I can just see that fucken filter suckin' in water! Besides that if your car is somewhat lower, I can see a turbo that gets scraped up quite a bit. Another point is that the exhaust will have significantly lower temperature, which means the turbo will take longer to spin... turbo spools is based on kinetic energy, thermal energy, etc... "Why is someone trying to reinvent the wheel?" |

Re:Ghetto or not? Hmmmm...
that almost makes sense on a car with no room under the hood, but even then i dont like the idea

i finally saw a truck running a remote mount system. i was imressed, it was a 03 half ton with a 4.8L v8 and he was running low 14,s @ 9psi. i talked to the guy and he told me that it spools almost instantly and he gets full boost @ 2100 rpm. I havevideo of it im just waiting for my cousin to give me the camera back so i can post it

Re:Ghetto or not? Hmmmm...
You also have to factor in as to how to drain the oil back into the oil pan. You need an external oil pump to do that.
