It's been posted before.

Just my opinion, but poor design to say the least.

The turbo is about [7 feet] too far back from it's ideal mounting position.

Takes very poor advantage of the high temp / high velocity / expanding exhaust gasses produced in the exhaust manifolds.

you'd probably need about 8 BOV's to release all that air, once the TB blade is closed as well.. lol
