No hard numbers yet as I haven't had a free moment in the last few weeks. But I did inquire about this from someone who has been developing turbo systems for well over twenty years including mid/late '80's F1 cars.

Gerhard Shruf's take on it was more positive than I expected. In fact he has designed several remote mounted systems over ten years ago. However, there was a caveat. He only used VG (Variable Geometry), or rather the VATN (Variable Area Turbine Nozzles) turbos; the Aerocharger. His feeling is that a conventional turbo is not the ideal approach:

Conceptionally, the STS Turbo System is based on the right Idea; except, for optimum Performance, a conventional Turbocharger is insuffufficient
The Aerocharger also has an advantage of being self lubricated. As for perfomance even remote mounted; it worked exceptionally well. But then again, these turbos are not cheap though nor do they seem widely available.

dyno sheets talk, and actual street, road, and longevitiy tests as well. so until then i think all of us hold our ground, hopefully you understand where we are coming from
