djmtsu will become famous soon enough
Good luck finding a place under the FC to remote mount a turbo. You can put one where one of the mufflers sit, but that would mean a lot of long tubing. You could put one in the front bumper somehow, and melt the front end to the ground.

Just another note. The stock turbo is too puny to deal with a big FMIC, much less all the tubing RMing it would create. What turbo would you remote mount, that would fit, and not lag like hell?

Which is the point of this thread. We're going to do all the theoretical stuff now and work it out, then try it.
