I know Squires is big into GM but they make universal remote mount kits for just about any car. Anyone see a car w/ remote mount turbo(s)? I am looking into this as an alternative...and hoping that there will be minimal turbo lag in the process.
Squires Remote Mount Turbo?

I contacted them a month or so ago.. here's the 3 email responses I got:
"Thank you for your interest in STS. Unfortunately we do not offer a bolt on kit for your 04 Ford Mustang GT vehicle. However, we do offer a universal kit which has been a solution many of our customers in this same situation have chosen. The STS universal kit starts at under $3,000 and comes with all of the main components as our "bolt-on" kits but without any of the piping or silicone connectors (All universal kits come as tuner kits). If you are interested in this option get back in touch with us and we will help you look at installation options in your area as well as answer any questions you may have."
"Thanks for your interest in your kits.
Charles @ Pro Dyno is a great fabricator and welder .
We have a great dealer in your area that can help you with the purchase and installation of a kit that will fit your needs.Please contact Pro Dyno , or feel free to contact me directly.
Thanks,
(480) 967-5550"
"The universal kit comes with the following items:
Garrett Turbo(sized according to your application)
Tial 38 mm Wastegate
STS oil pump with standard pressure alarms
All return and supply oil lines
STS wiring harness to operate oiling system with alarms and PCV system
PCV pressure switch and switch Valve system
Flanges for turbo attachment
Air Filter
STS instruction manual
I can add much of the needed silicone couplers and clamps for about $75 on top of the system. The universal system normally sells for $3150,but I've been able to offer discounted pricing to people that documented their install with pictures for our records.
I also have access to used universal kits that would sell for much less than a new. These used systems seem to go quickly, so let me know if you're interested as soon as possible."

I would love an affordable remote mount turbo system for our cars... even if it is universal.
Cause ultimatley, I would turbo my car. Just have a conservative single setup on the stock engine with a few bolt ons, and a good tune. Nothing like feeling and hearing the boost come on...

Thanks for the reply. My main concern is the lag time - to go all the way back to the exhaust and come back up front, what is the lag gonna be like?

I love meat more than anything! I just have a spec
Depending on the size of the turbo there should be minimal lag. You could probably have full boost by around 2500RPMS still. Search the forums, I know there is a thread of a guy that did a custom twin remote mount turbo setup and he said he experienced minimal/no turbo lag on his setup with t3/t4's I believe it was...

From reading people's experiences with remote mount turbos, that seems to be a thing of the past. Yes there might be a slightly larger lag compared to a front mount, but its nothing to write home about.
The best remote turbo setup I've seen belongs to GreenMustangGt (94 GT). He made the side scoops functional and used them as air inlets to twin t-3 turbos... and that thing hauls @ss big time

Thanks for the infostangGT97 said:
I was talkin with a friend, he said Shearer might be too much if they have to custom fab a downpipe and manifolds. Like too much as in..thousands just for that. I am still goin there Friday to talk with them and see what we're talking about - but a remote mount for a few thousand less than any other kit, how can you go wrong? If I go single, I might get a 77-80mm turbo. If I go twin, I'd like to get 67's. Whatever it takes to get to about 650-700 to the wheels, because everything else I have can support it.

seen a few Fbodies with them. They don't really complain of any lag, sorry I've owned too many turbo cars to believe the NO LAG theory, but my understanding is they use a smaller than normal hotside inlet. That allows it to spool been so far back, the problem I see and feel would be is the fact that it would limit total hp.
The way I see it if I go turbo I want to make STUPID power. I don't want my power adder to be holding me back I want it to be my self restrained.

LOL, fab much? That person has done a ton of work. Kudos to him, though, that car is pretty sweet.Dusstbuster said:
Feeling....yes, but you don't hear much when they're situated at the rear and underneath the vehicle. My buddy built up a twin turbo remote system for his 351W powered '82 GT. He says he does get a little bit of turbo lag down low, but when it comes one......IT COMES ON!!!BurningRubber said:Nothing like feeling and hearing the boost come on...
He did all the work himself and I think he's got about $3,000 Canadian into the whole set up.
Thanks for the replies everyone! The more I hear about remote mount, the more I like the whole idea! Well I sent an email to STS and I'm just waiting on a reply. I will have to check out the other thread and video when I have more than 2 minutes to read!

Yeah seriously! But that goes to show you, a great turbo setup can be had without breaking your wallet, if you can do all the fabrication yourself. His air duct idea is genious though, I wish I had his fab skills...
