    It is not as efficient as one mounted closer to the engine with higher pressure + higher velocity exhaust gas, but the advantages I see are not having to buy an exhaust manifold or intercooler (you can say the same thing for a supercharger) and not having to deal with hacking things up in the engine bay to get it to fit. The OE mufflers are quite large so removing that gives a decent amount of space to work with.

    Its not the best way to turbo, but like i said, If you have some money to burn on a car that you will eventually return to stock and sell, then a remote turbo system would be very easily reversible.

                I am not quite sure if I am going to do it yet because of being in Wisconsin and my 540i is my daily driver. Don't want snow getting all up in my turbo.
