Crazy shit. That looks like an awful lot of charge pipe.

With alot of piping length (hehe) wouldn't that just make boost lag horrible? This seems like a good idea if you have no room in the engine bay.

yes it does. that and because of how slow and cool the exhaust gasses are at the back of the exhaust, and to compensate for it, they go with a smaller turbo.

i really like this picture they have posted up on their site and the information they have about whats going on in the picture:

This picture shows how hot a traditional front mounted turbo system can get under full power.

Most components under the hood of today's vehicles were not designed to operate at this temperature. In order to place a turbo in an already overcrowded engine compartment it is necessary to do a lot more than just make some room for the turbo itself.

By mounting the turbo remote under the vehicle, STS has eliminated the heat problem. A remote mounted turbo runs cooler, with no additional lag and requires no major modifications to your vehicle.

they normally dont do rear mounts on vehicles with such small displacement. not enough exhaust flowing. cool for a gto, not cool for your accord.
