holy s***!! the greatest statement ever uttered on this forum!! (drinks)
I saw an integra in a magazine with a remote mount turbo system and still used a FMIC
it talked about how the turbo is made specifically for that purpose and supposedly reduces lag time and yet still is able to compress a lot of air...
the intake being away from the engine of course will pull in much cooler air... and then the piping back up to the IC was said to drop about 40-50 degrees off of the air charge not including what the front mount did
so overall I believe the temp decrease was somewhere around 80degrees less from the turbo to throttle body
but don't take my numbers to be exact since I read the article about a month ago and I don't own the magazine to check it
but the author of the article said he took it for a spin and there's much less lag then what you'd expect and the integra felt like a sporty 6cylinder with good power all through the rpm's and a smooth transition into boost
EDIT: I'm going to try to find out from my friend what magazine this was in and if I can find the article online

integras feel like 6cylinders stock....turbo-teg's feel like V8';s...
maybe an integra with a roots blower on it. the gsr and type-r are all top end, no way they would compare to a 6. maybe the 1.8l V6 in an mx3 lol but seiously, they arent that nice. but them in a old civic hatch and they may feel like a 6, but thats because the car has no weight to pull.

hot turbo + cold water = what bad could happen??

ding ding ding, fault #1, ever seen what happens to hot metal when cold water is introduced? 100% correct, bad combo...
fault #2, anyone ever pulled an exhaust off their car after a couple years of driving? rusty, holes starting, etc etc, vacuum leak much? i dunno about you guys, but i really dont want to be replacing my *expensive* turbo pipes every few years...
for anything other than an all out drag/race car of sorts, i dont think this would be a very efficient setup, and not even worth the time put into its development, it is a neat idea though and would be cool to have, just to say you have it, but any further than that is kinda pointless on any car that will see real streets on a regular basis...

I think it was designed by someone too lazy to fabricate decent turbo headers. Read their website (STS). They use the worst logic in describing why their product is quality.
Hmm, they say the intake pipes have a 50% cooling efficiency. I wonder if you could improve that by adding some heatsink sort of fins on the outside of the piping.
The rest of the design for the system sucks IMO, but it's neat that you can run cool with no IC.

80 !? I am going to question that number. That is a huge change.
BTW in looking at some of these setups, the intake pipe goes back to the front of the car right along side of the exhaust pipe. I have a feling the intake pipe would pick up some of this heat, but maybe not. And unless that intake pipe hangs low, I don't think the flowing air (from driving) would cool the entire pipe all that much...

it was a big temp drop but I don't know exact numbers and I've yet to get ahold of my friend who had the magazine
it was with all the cold piping coming up from the turbo on the underside of the car and then through a large front mount... so I'd expect pretty good temp drops
I'll try to find the article as soon as I can though to get exacts
