Yes, remote turbos on the back are tried and tested, however this one appears to be located behind the headlamp. Ok, thats a good location for the inlet side of things, but it can't be good for the exhaust to route up round there can it? If it will even fit up round there?

Hats off to the geezer. I love mad hatters in sheds making things for themselves.

If you enlarge the picture you can see the there essentially is no exhaust. It comes out of the turbo, there's a 3 inch pipe and it then exits out of the bonnet, straight up. Thats it. I think the three turbos do all the silencing work.
