The additional cost comes from the fact that you have alot more components in the kit. Instead of 2 pre-cut lines with 4 fittings. You now have 4 lines and 8 fittings. The line cost really is not that much, but there could be an additional $80 ~ $100 cost just in fittings by doubling the number fittings. You also have to figure out a secure mounting location for thermostat soemwhere on chassis. Check out the previous issues of Modified Magazine, they did an install with a similar remote mount thermostat with a Accusump Accumulator on their S2000 Time Attack Project. They actually installed their remote mount thermostate on the front aluminum crash bar.
The benefit of the Remote Setup is that it will do a TRUE bypass, unlike the Sandwich Plate adapter style which is mostly a partial bypass.
It is definitly a doable project. Let me know, I would be interested in experimenting with the setup and building one for a customer if interested.
