They've made a lot of money off of it...
Haven't heard anything bad about thier kits either from people who have installed them (ie. failing parts, etc.)
But like I said, it has its disadvantges and I'd never do it on one of my cars.

I have seen this kit on an old Mercedes 500SL, a 2004 Mustang GT, and I believe a Viper, IIRC. All of them were custom made kits, with great performance numbers.
There was somebody on Pelican who made a remote turbo setup on a 944, using PVC pipe as the long intercooler pipes. I'll look for the thread, it was pretty interesting.

I'm not advocating for the rear mount setup, mind you. I just find it interesting, and the several articles I've read plus the special on SpeedVision a couple of years ago were all very complementary. I don't think STS is funded well enough to buy them all off, but I could be wrong
Also, on the early 2.0L NA cars, where there is virtually no available alternative, the STS approach is compelling...although few 2.0L NA guys are willing to spend that kind of money on their cars

Actually I don't think lag would be much of an issue so long as the system was properly matched. The pressure build up is almost instantaneous. On off response may suffer? It would be interesting to go in an n/a 944 that had this done all the same.
Who's going to be the first to step up to the plate. $2k is cheap....

this is a contrarian set up but the difference is marginal in terms of fluid mechanics. the length of plumbing required makes me want to barf. pass.
