Lightbulb Twin Charged idea. Its just an idea but looking for input.

Okay, so there is this GTR Vette C5 at a local dealership and I was thinking...yummm...twin turbo vette...amazing! Then I remembered STS has a TWIN TURBO REAR MOUNT for the C5 and C6.

Then I was thinking of our car and Hahn's dragged out testing on twin charging the RL...what the hell, whats everyone think about a twin charged RL, but with a remote mount turbo system? Its simple as heck to do...lots of tuning and stuff required but its easy.

Get a small T3/T4 turbo in the back, attach an aftermarket 2.5" exhaust onto it, get an oil pump and lots of steel lines to run it from the engine bay to the turbo, have a small custom intake made that attaches onto the turbo (sorry for those of you who spent $200+ already on an aftermarket intake because it would be of no use...post it on eBay).

With the remote mounts it deletes the real purpose of having an intercooler (not like out s/c intercooler but the front mounts and everything) because the short time from getting from the back of the car to the front, the air will be really cooled off. You can put a basic cheap or expensive electronic boost controller on it and boost it up to 5 psi.

I think the hp gains are just sick...the C5 Z06 they have dyno sheets on went from 354 at the wheels to 540rwhp with no other modifications other than the kit, which on the C5 Z06 includes 42# fuel injectors and some other things.

I'm thinking of getting the supplies and stuff and getting a start on it hear in the next two months, but first wanted to see what everyone thought about the concept.
