turbo idea

i have sr20 injectors, injector connectors, ceramic brake pads F/R, cross drilled and slotted rotors F/R, and i have two brand new GT35R turbos. i am waiting on pistons, and the ecutune stage 2 with MAF.

once my parts are accumulated, i am thinking of a remote mount turbo build.
as there isn't much room under the hood, and no room for an intercooler that i can see.

I want to take out the spare tire, cut the spare tire well out, and weld it back in upside down (instead of bowing donw to hold the spare tire, it would raise upwards into the trunch compartment) to give me a few more inches of clearance to mount the turbo.

the good thing about a remote mount build would be there is no need for an intercooler, as the length of tubing from the turbo mounted in place of the muffler back up to the intake will dissipate heat. I am working the issue of the oiling system for the turbo. I am thinking a reservoir, oil cooler, and pump to keep the turbo oil separate than the engine oil. with a filter of course

I am also thinking of running my exhaust maybe an 1/8 inch smaller diameter to keep my exhaust velocity up, till the turbo. since the gt35r is pretty gnarly in size and i wanna decrease some of the turbo lag without choking up the engine, so i figure 1/8 smaller along the length of the exhasut should be a nice middle ground. Any smaller means more exhaust velocity for faster spool, but less flow

Also the MAF, would it be better to mount the MAF and filter in the trunk area, by cutting off the connector to the MAF and lengthening the wires, or I am leaning towards this one, run my own ductwork from the factory air box, back to the turbo? I am not sure in the wires for the MAF are some sort of shielded wire.

Any ideas, suggestions, pros, and cons. thanks guys
