    remote mounted turbo( instead of muffler)



    hi,turboexperst:

    i´ve found this on the web:http://www.ststurbo.com/home

    please read all !

    thats crazy, but it seems, it will work. I would be afraid ,that a stone is hitting against
    the turbo.Thaught turbos need minimum temperature for full working.
    Maybe it works on dragstrip, but in spain definitly not.



    I, m interested only for technical possibilitys, not for use on my car.

        Oh man. Not that someone makes those kits but they probably wouldn't if someone wouldn' buy them! That must be the stupidest idea I've ever seen.

        Heat is energy!

        And am I surprised from which country...

            I remember seeing things about this posted before now. Does seem a bit daft since you still need pipe work for the inlet, why not install it properly??
