We can still have our dreams of boost, but when it comes down to it it is alot of work either way you go :P
the remote mount would be cool to see though, they sound awesome when the turbo spools, but like mentioned there are downsides, they have to have a hot exhaust in order to be efficient as ive read, so the car needs to be warmed up. also the turbo gets left to the elements of the outdoors. however remote mounts can be built fairly cheap it seems, if you are doing all the work yourself. but i guess the same can be said about normal turbo setups. take Lyon for example building his turbo for only 1200$! thats ridiculous
