Would it give it more lag if they were that far away

been done loads.

never once has it been done to a level that made it look even remotley as good as the same setup mounted in the normal place.

simple fact is 80% of what spools up turbos is HEAT and 20% gas pressure/flow, so you can see the obvious issue straight away.

that one runs 7s so it obv works, but itd work even better if turbos wernt so fucking far away.

TBH the main issue, ie lag and boost threshold, isnt an issue on that car, as its a dragster.
