What is wrong with this setup? When under the hood it looks like intake/header/exhaust and you dust someone. It would be awesome...
I personally wouldnt do it. But it is definatly not a bad idea.

speed bumps, rain, puddles, all the extra piping, oil return issues, oil feed length, etc, etc. not very intelligent for a daily driver. they say spool time doesn't suffer, but i don't see how that's possible

the cost of all their other systems are $4000 and 5psi. ---- that.
i like how the oil fitting/line is the lowest part and is three inches above the rear diff. and the suspension is fully extended.

lagmonster on a honda motor id bet.

how do they do an oil return, another pump to push it back up front?

just more ---- to break.

could you imagine slapping your brand new precision sc61 on a speed bump and breaking the ******?

i dont think it would be a good idea on a i4 FWD car, there is just too much room. but if you look at a newer v8 stuffed into a car, yuo'd be like where do i sign up for the remote turbo :P

I would put an oil pump in the back of my car so you wouldn't have to run long oil lines. But the the pump and th enew oil tank would out weigh the long oil lines. Its a bad idea for hondas but good for V8's. ^^what he said^^

About the lag.
I just viewed the video of the GTO.
When it shifts from 1st to 2nd you hear the turbo spin up and then a few seconds later you see the car react.
This is only in the first vid.
