I am working on something that hopefully pans out, and at least you will be able to get half way there.

I know he spent a lot of time doing it all himself with the help of friends.

The car is very impressive and the times posted were on RADIALS!

Looks like some work has been put in here - nice job. BUT - you've GOT to change the location of the intake air - the filters are RIGHT behind the radiator - kind of pointless sucking in the hottest air in the engine compartment, then trying to cool it with an intercooler - put those filters down beside the rad, and you've got something!

I have a callaway body kit waiting for install. I was going to try and use the 4 nose holes to feed air to the turbo inlets. we'll see. I have alot of work to do and next to no time. And recently my life has been turning upside down. hoping things will settle down by summer.
