XR8380 sent me these pictures so I could host them and post them.

Interesting 
Hmm this is different 
WTF We will need Graeme to give us details about it, it would have to have some lag LOL (an understatement) Oil return would also be interesting.

This is on a b/b so lag is not an issue...

I guess thats what they thought they had to do to put a turbo on an engine bay that was cramped...
Not sure how the turbine would go being so far away from the engine though. How much exhaust energy would have been lost in the way of heat and friction after travelling all the way down the pipe, not to mention if it had a cat in the way. Plus then the forced air itself has to travel a mile... maybe they had an intercooler somewhere in there too like hanging out the window

Yeah I reckon, I too was thinking maybe they'd be a supercharger and a turbo. So the boots been cut out with a turbo hanging underneath, and it gets air from under the car? What happens if they drive through a puddle?
I personally think its an awesome idea, except cutting holes in boots doesn't appeal to me.

the pod filter is bolted onto the front of the turbo, and if you look at the pic of the setup in the boot, it's actually in the boot, so water isnt an issue (well.... it is if you go deep enough, but if it gets *that* deep, i think the engine getting a gutfull of water is the least of your problems)
