Not to be a dick but you are talking about the compressor side of the turbocharger. Not the turbine side.

you be a dick? never
 i don't claim to know a thing about turbos... i know something is spun really fast by exhaust gases and makes pressure that is fed back in to the engine  honestly, that is the extent of my knowledge

If it were as easy as adjusting the A/R ratio to basically solve all the major problems of turbocharging, I am skeptical that a company I've never heard of, like say General Motors, didn't think of it first.
I'm not saying it won't work. But I just don't trust it. From their website: Quote:Quieter wastegates, especially if vented to atmosphere. Where else would you vent your wastegate? I'm not saying it won't work...but I don't think it's a good solution to anything.

Uh...it does work. Which part of that is hard to believe? As Andy already said the LS1 guys loves that ish.
I know it is a really really bad solution to the problems that plauge turboeing an 8 cylinder vehicle with little engine bay space. I mean...it is only cheaper, easier to install and effective. I think we'd better find some good reasons to hate on it. With that said...I do hate on it. Turbos are meant to be hanging off an exhaust manifold, not behind the rear axle in place of a muffler. -T

screw a remote turbo. be a man
![[Image: HPIM0146a.jpg]](http://mars.walagata.com/w/academytim/HPIM0146a.jpg) thats a v8 in a 2nd gen rx7. no problems fitting it in there. don't know the price of that setup....but that may be the x factor for the remote setup

Na...I'm sure dropping a fuel injected twin turbo v8 into an RX7 costs way less than a remote turbo installation.
