It's commonly done on cars where there isn't enough space in the engine compartment for turbos. You often see it in aftermarket kits for V8 cars.

That's a very nicely done car.

Its not the trans thats the problem its the drive-by-wire throttle that laggs like a 56k connection. The problem has already been solved with the Blitz throttle controller.

Car= awesome, owner=total douche.
