I experimented with the remote mount turbo concept on my 89 Cavalier. It worked out quite well. I run 6psi for daily driving, and 10psi for drag racing. I raced once on 6psi, and plan to run the 10psi setting soon- hope to surprise some 5slows!

Here is a link:

So far I have almost 5k miles on the system, with the only glitch being the defective FMU.
