As others have mentioned, a top mount kit is form over function. You want to hang the turbos as close to the exhaust outlet as possible to get all of that energetic hot air through the turbine. Moving them up away from the exhaust outlets just creates extra piping and loss of energy, not to mention if you have ever seen a turbo's hotside glowing yellow on a dyno, you would realize you DO NOT want those sitting that close to other bits of engine that were not designed to be exposed to that kind of severe heat.
