Apart from what has been discussed already. Water lines and oil lines? These will have to be run the whole length of car as well. Plus oil drain will not be sufficient to 'naturally' drain back to sump, therefore will have to be 'pumped' back to sump.
Overall, more hassle, no gain. I think its more a marketing thing in 'offering something different' that will grab people, in which they are counting on.
its an interesting concept i thought but very different i must say. Anyway im still doing a bit more research on what i want to do with the car. currently its just stock and i kinda like it like that.
+1 with that dry sump required plus id say at least 2 oil coolers and an electric water pump
dry sump isn't required. probably no need for an oil cooler at all as the oil stays in the lines longer between the turbo and engine giving time to cool down. Maybe just one like a normaly setup would be fine.
Water pump will be fine as is, just the volume of coolant should be upped to cater for the extra lines (goes for oil as well).
Only extra pump is one in the rear to pump the oil from the turbo back to the engine sump as its not gravity assisted like regular setups on hondas.
