whell guys, as far as i know, noone has done a true remote mount on a turbo for a stang. Noone on turbomustangs has any idea about it, and im sorta the first person.
As far as the lag, as you can see, i used a small a/r and this should account for the lag.
The benefits in my mind FAR outweigh the negatives just being able to not have to re-work my headers and keep my a/c and smog, and ps is enough for me.....but here is a list of the positives STS lists on there site.
Ease of installation. STS turbo systems can be installed in about 8 hours with standard tools and average mechanical ability.
Performance Sound. The turbo acts as a muffler and sounds like an aftermarket performance muffler. Turbo spool and rushing air from the blow-off valve make a unique sound that will turn heads!
No need for major modifications to your vehicle. STS systems are designed to "bolt-on" to factory mounts.
Increased gas mileage. Unlike a belt driven supercharger, the turbo utilizes "wasted" energy leaving your tailpipe. Most of our customers get 1-3 mpg increase in gas mileage.
Lower underhood temperatures. No need to worry about melting wires, hoses, or other components.
Converts back to stock in about an hour.
More room under the hood. Future repair work or modifications will not require the expense of removing the turbo system to allow access to engine components.
Cooler oil to the turbo. Cool oil is better for both the turbo and engine.
Approximately 500F lower turbo temperatures. Eliminates the need for a turbo-timer, which allows the engine to run after the car is shut off in order to cool down the turbo and prevent oil and bearing damage.
Denser exhaust gasses drive the turbo turbine wheel more efficiently.
Built-in intercooling. Intake piping provides ~50% intercooler efficiency. There is no need for the expense, pressure drop, and installation problems associated with a front mounted intercooler.
Turbo is exposed to ambient air rather than underhood air. Allows for better cooling of turbo components.
No need for expensive headers, mufflers, or exhaust systems.
Turbo is closer to the tail pipe outlet. Provides a better pressure differential across the turbine wheel which promotes better flow across turbine.
Better weight transfer. Increases traction because the bulk of system is mounted in rear of vehicle rather than up front.
Less noise in the passenger compartment.
