I´ve always assumed...
...that turbos go under the bonnet, but now I found this: http://ststurbo.com/home , not 100% convinced, but I quess it works fine...

The first tim I saw them was a few years back on a E60 M5 (V10)
They looked like this.
Just a nice M5 below. No relevance just it sound INSANE!!!

I was kinda suprised that these have been around for several years! Wonder if I could squeeze these to my Audi...
They are pretty popular in the Corvette community.
Could you combine that with normal turbos? And have quad turbo skyline etc lol
I would assume that they would have to be relatively small turbos? its a long way for the intake to be pressurised and same for the exhaust gases to charge the turbo. I do wonder a couple of things though, if they can keep the turbo spooled without stalling the engine at lower revs and what those things must look like at night time. When you spank a turbo, they glow, ALOT! :D
I think they are typically used in large displacement applications (typically over 5L)...so moving enough gases that far really isn't too much of an issue. Plus with the length of the charge pipe, intercoolers generally aren't needed as the length of the inlet pipe (after turbo) is so long, that they do a decent job of cooling the charge. I don't believe they build these kits in high boost applications, as you would loose any benefits that you would gain from remote location, such as no intercooler and packaging constraints (I could be wrong however, as I haven't researched available kits).
Yeah i suppose you are right, very interesting :D
I think the truck has a turbo:

Not sure about total weight of that truck, I assume it´s somewhere around 45-50 tons...Anyway, that´s a fu***ng fast truck!
damn on a full load? that truck is beast... bet it has over 3000 ft/lbs TQ.
The standard C15 motor has 2,050ft-lbs at 1,200rpm with 625 horsepower at 2,100rpm.
But the motor in that truck aint no standard C15
Hmmm don't think thatl pass a uk MOT test lol
