I was looking thru the new HCI magazine and i came across 2 new forms of turbo induction.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Squires Turbo Systems (STS)
The first being a new idea first tested on an Acura Integra (go figure) , but it had outstanding results. The turbo setup was situated in the back of the vehicle, under the wheel well!! Where the muffler was supposed to be, the turbo, filter and wastegate were located.........

The second interesting new induction method was created by Cry02, it basically utilzes compressed carbon dioxide gas to power a compressor similar to the compressors that are found on turbo setups. Looks like it could have potential, however finding information on it is becomming a loss for now, ill update when i find more on it.

its just called a remote mounted turbo. ive seen them done before, not really sure the reasoning behind doing it.

exactly - works well in tight situations. I was reading a job done on the Toyota Matrix XRS. The bay is sooo tight that the filter would literally have to be sitting on the exhaust manifold if you'd like a turbo. A remote system works just as well but theres just alot of piping included. Nice for a semi-sleeper if you got hood crawlers Oh and guys, i'm pretty sure they put some sort of shield to protect the filter from hydro-lock.

Also lag isn't that big of a problem, little scenario -- you own a compressor with a 15ft air hose on it. When you turn on the compressor, how long does it take for air to reach the end of the hose. The turbo lag on a remote system is almost the exactly same as a in-bay system.
