Looks like they are trying to incorporate some kind of chargecooling into it.

Space must be incredibly tight, as cant see it offering much cooling with its compact size.

Judging by the upward slope of the intake after the TB I don't think it's as choked off as it looks from that straight on view. It's an interesting idea but I just don't know how well a small core like that would really help.

Not really different than what Magnacharger does. It's not great for high boost. Definitely not better than traditional coolers IMO.

Those were built in our shop by our lead fabricator.

This is the prototype for the basic 1,000 HP (flywheel) version. With adequate water flow, the 3 5/8" x 15" core is a great solution for many applications. The intakes are being built by a new company that is not a sponsor. I don't know if we can post their information. It is on loan to us for testing. We will also be testing the 1,500HP version with a larger core. Production versions will be available soon from the manufacturer.
