Less heatsoak in the engine bay and less clutter, probably a lot easier to install. Probably cheaper than getting turbo manifolds. I like it

You make valid points Var, but my questions still remain on Throttle Response and Pressure drop. There's got to be at least 8ft of intake piping there, and at least the same for the exhaust piping. I would think the spool up would extremely slow with all that piping, and boost levels wouldn't be nearly as high as they should be with that turbo. Not to mention, a hacksaw and 10-15 mins of cutting and somebody has a new turbo without ever popping his hood. I'm just not seeing enough positives. Maybe I'm just being pessimistic because it's so different.
*edit* Since you posted answers while I was typing/proofreading my above comments, I will add this: How is it stealth when I can clearly see the wastegate protuding beneath the vehicle in the first picture??
