its no cleaner than the average setup

there is nothing in the engine bay so it looks clean obviously

nothing is hooked up, no wiring harness, no nothing.

big turbo is impressive, nothing else is really 🙂

its more than likely a drag car. which would explain why the top rad hose goes directly into the water pump so theres no thermostat. Which would also explain why theres no alternator.

But it is half built. it just needs the cold pipe and hot pipe and wiring and it would still be super clean…its like 80% done

I’d like to know if they engineered the intake plenum and tuned the runners.

It looks like the chamber is tapered and each port is cut to length. If I remember correctly turbo cars do better with a larger plenum volumes due to charge pressure filling the chamber with pressurized air as opposed to vacuum pulling the air through runners.
