It is not compact at all. So many kinds of superchargers and turbo kits fit just fine.

Some car guys fake-the-funk and "install" just a dummy turbo and intercooler.... that looks like this. It Bypasses the "open the hood, let me see your turbo" questions... SOOOOOO LAME!

Where is the turbo? I can't take my eyes off those wheels :)

Externally Mounted Turbos / Hood exit exhaust Suggestion???
 

Probably CRASH from not seeing the road before you can even park safely 😳

I could use a good payout...

What everyone else said. No one's done it because:
1. Its noisy
2. An exposed turbo without a filter will get damaged real easily during daily driving.
3. Theres plenty of room under the hood for any turbo that would actually be relevant for our engine.

Noisy is an under statement. My Turbo Hayabusa has a dump and its just ....... fuck loud. Feel bad for anyone on the right side of me.

Wow, the amount of trolls who can't read the first thread was above my expectation but thanks for the rest for their thoughts about the setup :)

Yeah that would look rad with a cone filter sticking out the front of the car!

Or, we could play a game called, "How many seconds before the turbo sucks up some debris and disintegrates"?

Got a couple Evo 8s around here that do the hood exit exhaust, damn its loud and sounds insane. I had an open wastegate on my Evo 3 and when that thing opened up it was loud, but it dumped about a foot off the turbo downward.

jokes aside, I do want to have a hood exit exhaust, or like tuercks side/front fender exit.

Would need to have an exhaust valve to switch, because as people have mentioned it would be rather loud

Trolls? I haven't seen a troll in this thread actually.

That doesnt sound like a bad idea, have a normal exhaust flow for daily driving and switch to hood exit for track days, meetups and shows.

I hate the look of actual pipes sticking out of the hood though.
