As far as I know there isn't enough room to do it and I havnt seen or heard of anyone doing it . If you want more power you can always do work to your exhaust and maybe a tune . Supercharger would be great though .

Remote turbo is when the turbo in not located in the engine bay (like most factory turbos are). Instead it is usually placed in the rear under the trunk or under the car along the exhaust lines.
Supercharger is out unless you modify the hood, and turbo would have to be a custom job, no kits available that I know of, meaning it would cost you a pretty penny.
Judging from that Youtube video, the turbo kit looks like remote installation among the exhaust. You can tell the stock exhaust piping hasn't been used and/or has been modified. The tips are too close to the diffuser and are almost level, that is not how it was from factory.

The STS universal kit is looking pretty tasty, and it doesn't carry a hefty price tag either. I wonder if they used pieces off of that kit to get any inspiration for the 350 in the video.
I think our biggest issue would be ECU management, have to get in with a hands on tuner to manage some of the new air/fuel ratios the turbos may introduce, and manage some of the compression too.
If I had extra time (and green backs) I'd try this out. It seems pretty feasible for success, that youtube vid a few posts up is a huge inspiration for me.

In turn, you have no worry of under hood temps putting strain on the turbo. At roughly 500* cooler, the 1psi loss is relative to if the turbo were under the hood.
6 in one hand, half dozen in the other.
I think this is lookin more promising, we even have the option for twins

An STS universal single kit runs 1900 and twins go for just about 3 grand.
But those kits require a lot of time to install considering they come as just pieces and you have to fab all the piping yourself.
On the other hand, if you got specific turbo(s) and built it yourself, I don't see where you couldn't get into this project for around $1500. But it'll take some work to complete.

the correct term to put it, is that you will need to update your ecu, in perfect world, for every power modifications you did you should update your ecu to suit, therefore yes, u will erase ur current ecu tune, and yes, you cannot keep your current ecu settings, unless you got for like 0.05 psi :P

Whatsup Mikee, i wanna see this happen! At least i have your cell so you can take me for a ride when its done. haha Let me know if i can help im no stranger to the turbo game!
Im think youre going to need a few more necessary items to complete a custom turbo setup:
-intake for the turbo
-fuel pump
-fuel pressure regulator
-ecu and tuning
-and you need that custom intercooler piping made, and anytime you have mandrel bent aluminum piping, its gonna cost a fortune.
I think youre gonna need bigger injectors then that for any boosted setup. Especially if you run a t4 60-1, that sized turbo youre going to have to push at least 12-17 psi to be anywhere near the efficiency range, so you will forsure need bigger injectors to supply fuel for all that boost you have to make. If youre not in the right efficiency range for the turbo, ur turbos just too big for your setup and it would actually hurt your potential horspower vs. running a smaller turbo more suitable for your engine. Also depending on your a/r exhaust housing size you could even have major boost lag.
If you still went with that t4, at that psi, i think youre lookin at a lot more stuff, like a full rebuild, lower compression pistons etc.
