Matt,
    I'm no expert on Turbo, but I believe that some turbo's are already
    remotely
    located in some cars.
    There will be some loss of exhaust energy over a distance, but that
    is more
    than offset with lower heat, greater life expectancy, and for
    normalizing
    (higher RPM) it's the way to go. Now where to put it is another matter.

Thanks George.  I agree with you.  Maybe the benefits outweigh the risks..

I posted this a few messages ago:

They have a remote mount turbo system, not that I am saying any single
component from them would be useful on an airplane.  Just that such a
system has been used and apparently it performs well enough to sell..
The pictures on their website are intriguing.


Regards,

Matt-

Here is an interesting diagram.

Matt,
Also interesting is the bleed or by-pass of the exhausts - something I
suggested some time ago " they stole my idea - just joking, I'm sure it's
just a case of great minds think alike".

This allows for bleed-off before the turbo to limit the exhaust energy to
that which is needed. Especially true for Aviation needs, where at high RPM
the turbo over spins in the thinner air.This would then remove the need for
a waste gate, as the excess energy is by passed prior to the turbo.

I notice it is T'ed  back into the exhaust after the turbo - so simple!
