      Remote turbo

      I found this 10 YO thread on Remote muted turbo. Wondering if in the last 10 years any technology advancements have been made in systems like this?
      My research says no ,that moving the turbos fwd and exhaust exiting fwd has been the way everyone is going.
      Curious if anyone has an remote mount turbo projects, threads, vendors I could research.

      Since nobody's responded in 6 months, and because I like to stir the pot... STS was bought by Holley, so evidently there's merit to it. If I turbo my truck it'll be a rear mount because I don't want the extra weight on the front, nor do I want the heat under the hood. From what I understand, you select the compression and exhaust sides a little differently to account for the change in heat and velocity due to the turbo being further back. If the exhaust is appropriately sized for a rear mount, the difference between turbo lag on a front vs rear mount is supposed to be so small as to be unnoticeable.

      When investigating turbos I came across this thread on a turbo board where a poster talked about using a dual volute turbocharger and an exhaust cutout. He kept the cutout closed to force all his exhaust down one volute on the turbo until the RPM reached a set value, then an RPM switch would open the cutout allowing exhaust to flow into both volutes. He said that doing this allowed his turbo to come on about 2000RPM earlier than it did before he did this. If I do turbocharge, I'll probably try and make this work too in order to bring power on sooner. That's assuming I ever do, because my engine is now up in the air since I can't get the engine/transmission combo I wanted to work.
