The one problem with a remote mounted turbo system is that you need to mount an extra oil pump to the bottom of the turbo to pump the oil back into the pan. The reason why turbos are normally mounted in the top of the engine bay is because oil free flows from the turbo back into the pan. If the flow is blocked the oil backs up into the center housing, pressure builds up until is blows through the seals which will coat everything inside your motor with oil and you will lose power. I did a whole write up in turbocharging the 2.5.

I too am planning on turbocharging, just slowly acquiring the parts and making sure i have everything planned out right. Only difference is im building up a 3.0L block with forged pistons, ported heads, stainless oversized valves, different camshafts, bigger fuel rail, and other goodies. If I can remember correctly, a 2.5Lv6 running on 10psi of boost needs 308cc injectors, but I'm not positive thats the number. I'm wanting to run 15lbs of boost, but i might keep it tamed down to 10, my tranny is rebuilt and i really dont want to push it past its limits. These cars arent really meant for high horsepower, so it doesnt take much untill it starts taking a lot of money to beef it up with custom parts.
