Twin charge kit from the local british muffler shop. I'm guessing it works just fine.

yeah, two intercoolers one for the turbo and one for the supercharger and notice the nitrous feed before the throttlebody... and it goes very well.

yes, and that car ran at the autocross on Saturday in Street Mod. Did very well from what I remember. If it didn't set it, it was close to FTD. A Lotus was also in the running for FTD as I remember.

Yeah I was helping my buddy out. He had an offroad excursion and busted a mount. So I swaped with him since I trailered my car.

Tuls I was listening for the BOV sounds but didn't here any. I wish we could have met up.

And Ryan don't hate on the "squish" factor. And yes there is a front mount. And as far as Afro engineering goes... You wana race?
