    I have heard of several proposals to do this, especially doing it remotely, but the issues of spool up time due to that increased distance, and the placement regarding heat would be potential issues. You should really do a search, because I am sure I ran over this topic several times when I was first thinking of upgrades. I am fairly certain the general consensus was that supercharging made more sense in many applications. I don't recall anyone ever actually coming out and saying that they had done this mod, so you may be the first. Good luck!!!

    Do a search on the "Moon Buggy". It was turbo'd although it lost a lot of ground clearance (and in my opinion...UGLY).
    Anything is possible if you have the $$$$$$.
    Alpine supercharger is available, tried, and tested.

    I'm looking at dual-turbos for the Rally VX, but it would be a major mod for a street ride as engine management will be handled by an aftermarket unit like Megasquirt. In either case, like most of my other projects the timetable is "out there".
