Have you guys read the articles referenced on the web site?? Not only does
these work they make some sick power even when compared to centrifugal
superchargers. Read and surf a little and your opinions will change, at
least mine did, I was pretty skeptical at first, not any more.

That makes sense Ken. So it looks like these remote turbos won't help a
quarter mile car much at all because of turbo lag due to the distance away
from the engine. They should, however, add power at crusing speeds where the
velocity of the exhaust is fast enough out the end of the pipe. So these
guys are adding mid range power -- good for cruising and towing (once under
way). Like an RV cam. So no good for racers, but a turbo usually picks up
2-3 mpg. That and a little extra towing power would be nice in a truck or
big SUV.
