In terms of the S65 block, I don't see a major issue if low to moderate boost is being used, GT-R and EVO X have aluminium blocks and run much higher boost levels than what we would normally see on a FI application for the S65.

The engine bay heat issue is eliminated by using the turbo at the end of the exhaust so in theory it should be workable. Not sure if anyone would bother doing it for the volume they'd sell though
