    Can you imagine a side impact, pushing you and that mess of deadly hot pipes into the same space?

    i question this... it looks a bit complicated but it also looks like it was given alot of thought into that project. You have two KO3's pushing at 8 pounds, would that be similar to running 16 with less lag? why not another turbo?

    wouldn't it be more effective for the IC to get some cold air, lol... (i didn't read through all that)

    I'll agree, it does look like a lot of thought went into it. However, with thought as with many things, it's quality that counts, not quantity.
