I'm sure we'd have a whole bunch of people pointing out what I did wrong on any of my builds if they were posted in such detail.... so I sure don't want to be too critical of any of it. I will say though that those turbos will not like it when they ingest the foam from those air filters. Been there done that! There's lots of things about that build that I personally would do differently, but we all have to learn somehow. You know full well it will be a BLAST to drive! Thanks for posting that!

Could have saved the guy thousands, been less exotic, and ran fine on pump premium. Why the tricked out kinsler setup if your going to hide it with that huge plenum I guess when money is no object things can get out of hand lol

Yeah I agree it is not well setup. I would have done a air to water intercooler built into the top side of the manifold with one inlet. I always wanted to build one of those cars or a cobra... 11.67@118 1.88 60' with only 7-8 lbs of boost.

Very tight efficient looking setup. Not to crap on that setup pictured above, but wouldn't there be a ton of force trying to rip that big flat top off at 15psi with all the surface area there? 93 Dakota Club Cab R3 Turbo Build in progress

Even a less-than-ideal installation still works, apparently. For me, I think getting cool outside air to the turbos would reduce teh need for that intercooler, and reduce a lot of plumbing that is probably working as an interheater (as 67 Satellite mentioned).
