you really dont need heat that bad, remote turbos to me are better, they will last longer then turbos that attaches straight to the manifold, think about it, its phsysics what happens if you put heat to metal then it gets cold then heat it up again it will eventually warp and/or the metal will be weaker and end up breaking/craking/or the turbines will shatter. thats how i think of it , you will still get alittle heat but not as much heat really doesnt matter to much. if u look at the dyno sheets a STS(squires turbo system) brings more power and torque then a turbo bolted straight on the manifold. but the down fall part is that what he said, rocks and all sorts of objects can get caught in the turbine and break, or water like puddles and whatnot..remote would be only good fo like a drag car but not a everyday driving car
