I'll be starting my next project car which will be my wife's current driver, the '95 TA. Was thinking a SC with aftercooler, but that really does make the engine compartment crammed. I remember reading about this about a year ago when it first came out, and everyone thought it was a joke, but it appears its getting a lot of respect now.
Since it only generates about 5-6 psi, spoolup from a V-8 should be nothing, even with the colder exhaust temps at the rear. Put some fins on that intake ducting and it would be a tremendous IC
The article says the temps drop from 175 to about 115 from rear to front in the intake.
and the displaced area in the long intake pipe is about the same as a large FMIC so lag should not be an issue.
The only problem I see is that most LT1 and LS1 cars that are raced make their power in the 5k-6500 rpm range, and it looks like this turbo would be quite the bottleneck for exhaust flow at those rpms???? For everyday street driving it would rock though.
