has anyone done any research on this? it sounds cool but there are a lot of questions. most of the applications are for big v-8's and v-6's. would be interested to see how it works for a 4 cylinder.

They have an application for the Integra but I wouldn't pay a dime for it. It's a pretty dumb design. They say they've reworked the turbos to minimize lag but there's still a ton of tubing that needs to be pressurized which is guaranteed to lag. Also, the turbo is in a very unprotected space and could be damaged.
Conventional turbo headers are a much better design.

i saw this system being put on a camaro in "two guys garage" on speed
seemed like a very good idea
very easy setup and pretty good gain
dont see y it wont be just as good as turbo under the hood
only thing i would be worried about is "thiefs" trying to jack my shit

You want your tubing runs to be as short as possible and these guys have gone to great lengths to do just the opposite.
Also, why would you want an air filter located directly behind one of the tires?

If you wanted to blow up a balloon, would you rather just put the balloon to your mouth or would rather blow it up through a garden hose?

not to mention you have to run oil lines all the way back to the end of your car...

Maybe it's there for people who want to boost cars with not enough space for plumbing in the engine bay? Eitherway I'd rather have my turbo somewhere I can hear it spool up
