i think its cool idea but would it be bad for the turbo to drive over puddles or in rain?

Apparently alot of domestic guys (camaros i think) use this set up. As i hear it they say its all the rage and love it.

their universal kit is almost 3 grand and doesn't come with much... is it really worth 3 grand?

I could build you a nice GT "R" series ball bearing turbo kit for $3000

Turbo Lag Anyone ???

Do some research before making claims like that. A properly designed remote turbo kit is very efficient, and not laggy. Dont know where you pulled that from.

Its pointless for a small displacement motor, but in cases where hood space is limited and exhaust routing is difficult, they are an excellent way to boost.

See I have always said this would be a great way to do a setup with a V6, instead of having to do all the engine bay modifications...

This would be an excellent way to do our cars! I managed to squeeze the turbo up front, but a properly sized turbo in the back would be just as efficient.
