Remote mount turbo?

[vex]

A remote mount turbo on our Cars would not be effective. A majority of the ability for the turbo to spool does not come from gas velocity but rather the pressure differential (which is more based upon heat than anything else). The closer to the engine where the exhaust temperature is greatest the quicker the ability to produce boost. So instead of having nice hot gases that are then exposed to a much cooler volume you'll have relatively cool exhaust gases hitting cool air. The pressure differential is not big enough to produce a spool that would allow a good set up like that.
