Found on FacebookWow. There's some videos of it off their page too. I think you can also find some on YouTube. I've seen a few of these remote mount turbo installs of late. They seem popular with the big V8 stuff. Theory says they should be laggy as hell but they seem to work well there. I've seen a couple of small hatch type cars done this way as well. Those blowers are something else though.

Have you changed your middle name to 'Oldsmobile' yet? If not why not, if ever there was a need to change a name by deed poll that is it!!
Not keen on the idea of rear mount turbo, lag must be bad for the sheer distance the air is travelling!

Looking at the turbos, it may be worth the wait! (...of the lag) I've a couple of questions on this picture though, is that a real distributor or some electronics that look like one? And have they fabbed injector holes into a carb manifold? //Also, just found that if you remove the 's' from 'https' of facebook photo locations, you can post them.

Yeah they are injector bosses in a carb manifold, not too sure about what theyve done though - i always thought they were supposed to be on an angle.
Distributor looks like a crank-angle-sensor, optical type [hence its so small].

If that goes through a puddle, that nice shiny engine will get wet and dirty.

its not finished so it may get inner fenders. also if its in a nice dry place it won't see puddles.
