I agree, will be nice, and that is something thats cool. Wonder if they just used a left mount one or if had one built. If you had one built then you may want to go ahead and get a few extra parts so downthe road you are not scratching your head...

It's actually pretty similar to the way many NMCA type street-legal drag cars work, plumbing the forced air charge back into the icewater filled intercooler in the pass seat or trunk, then back through the cowl into the TB.

As for "having one made", I'm pretty sure it's all in-house at this point...

is this set up intercooled? I have seen the plumbing come throught firewall but never the throttle body mounted near the charger.....

That one compressed really dark... we're going to post another version that will look brighter.

Thanks!

I don't think this car is, but the design is similar to the intercooled race cars, by running the compressed charged back to the cabin and then forward.

We just posted a re compressed version that is much brighter.

Thanks Kev for the video - really enjoyed it ! And thanks for all the hard work of going around and getting all the interviews, meeting people and shooting the footage/editing you share with us - that sounds like a blast !!
