It's pretty pointless on your car. On a Camaro it's hard to squeeze 2 turbos and piping or 1 turbo and a shitload of piping under the hood.

You have plenty of room for a traditional turbo setup. No need for a remote mounted setup.

the reason y i asked about it was because in the video the guy said that since it was remotely mounted that it could b mounted where it could b up to 90% effecient but if i can get just the regular set-up then thats what i want when people look under the hood.....they see the horns LOL **mess with the bull and u get the horns**

Yeah, mad points for the stealth effect.

There was a guy who lived near my neighbor hood that had remotely mounted twin turbos in his camaro, and if you didn't know what to look for, and listen for, it would be hard to recognize it.

The STS setup on a Camaro is a dead giveaway. Seriously the second throttle is stepped on, there's this noise that sounds like capacitors charging coming from the back. It sounds pretty sick, but it's in no way stealthy.
