(no exhaust leaks, correctly sized turbo, etc), you'll still have tons more lag than the stock twin turbo design because of the inherent design of your setup. By the time the exhaust gases get to the turbo, most of the heat has been lost to drive the turbine. Heat is at least an equal factor compared with the actual exhaust pulses themselves in spooling a turbine. On top of that, with charge piping that long you are further delaying the time it takes to make full boost. The benefits I can see to doing this are: better weight distribution, keeping heat out of the engine bay, easier access to turbo, and POSSIBLY less charge air pressure drop due to less bends in the piping (I think the extra length with sort of make up for that though)... Still, not a good design IMO. Looking at the dyno chart, there's more lag there than an twin GT2835 setup capable of over 800 whp, whereas your SP63 will only make ~650whp. Going to a smaller A/R will help but will also hurt your topend (do not expect to hit 600 whp on pump gas).
