I don't see any O2's or MAF on.. so I assume its a S/D tune !?

What would that black tube with hose be above the right side exhaust ?
Not sure...there's a bunch of stuff I can;'t identify. Hopefully he'll get on here soon to answer questions.

He did say it was SD tune.....

Only use turbos have in the aviation world are for getting up to high altitudes and to pressurize the cabin......he'll never need that. This plane rarely flys above 2000-3000 ft.

Now that I saw this thread.... I noticed one at the Half Moon Bay airport in NorCal and also in the movie "Rum Diaries."

Cool little planes.
