Default Remote turbo ?

Anyone considered this idea for Lexus, especially the tight fit V8 engine?

I thought about it before, never knew a company actually had a product like this.

Well I would like to do this once I get a SC400, 5-6psi should prove to be worthwhile. Although I can see this thing being more effective for highway takeoffs than from standstill...

A couple guys I know have this kit on their camaros and they were pretty happy with it.
Its not a BIG HP turbo kit though.
If you want to 3-400 HP then you can consider it an option, I wouldnt put one on my car though.
If your going to build a good turbo kit than dont dilly dally around.BUILD A GOOD ONE.
Which means, a good turbo,good wastegate, good blow off, good intercooler and have the entire thing be well though out.And finally have it built by a perfectionest.
