I used to run 10's with a turbocharged Buick V6 so I am familiar with how they work. When I said "system" I was referring to the turbo placement.
The air on the fresh side needs to be compressed along the length of the intake tube. That's probably going to run 8 ft. or more and common sense should tell you that will take a moment.
On the exhaust side the speed of the impeller is in proportion to the exhaust passing it. It takes time for that exhaust to rush from the engine all the way down the exhaust to reach the impeller and speed it up enough to create boost.
As for the heat, the exhaust gases are hot so the turbo will still heat up. Granted, not as much as it would in the engine compartment. Of course, that is why so many kits have intercoolers with them.
This sounds too good to be true I would have concerns for anyone that bought this system. Again, there must be a reason high performance vehicles don't use this.
