If you size the charge pipe for 240 feet/second (75mm diameter) then the lag is 40 milliseconds. The big advantage with remote mount would be to keep the heat out of the engine bay.
I'm building a remote mount setup using a precision 5857 dbb right now. There is lots of space since I removed the well in the trunk, plus you don't need a muffler. Should be interesting.

Remote turbo + one of these http://www.aerocharger.com/
expensive yes but the best of both worlds ( boost response and top end flow) since it is variable vane
Think how simple the install would be because it has self contained lubrication so no oil lines to run.
The closest you can get to true bolt on and tune
The only problem with these is the lower efficient % for the same flow /pr.
However with the return piping and a decent front mount efficiency/heat solved.
