It looks like your intercooler is going to be behind the coolant radiator?
That doesn't seem optimal?

I love to see what the turbo intake looks like without the air filter.
Any Bell Mouth action there?

It's nice that you have all that extra space to work in/with.
Thank you.

You guessed it right. The arms are Chrome Molly.

The air to water intercooler will have an insulator wrap later in the build. I also run ice water in which the passenger side cell will hold the ice water. The ice water only last about 9.0 seconds on full wack before all the ice is melted. The air to water also has a second use during FE mode in which the water with no ice will be around 200*F IAT temps. This involves an exhaust heating coil.

The large 88mm turbo intake pipe will have one of my PGF crankcase pressure systems. It will have a two-stage water/oil separator. First stage water separator and the second stage an oil coalescing filter. It will also have a PGF N2O system with a 45* vortex nozzle.

The space is really nice but there is an issue with the hood and it not opening very far that is not sitting well with me. I think I'll ditch the hood hinge springs and modified the hinge to open almost straight up and down? The engine sets way back and it is a paint to get to now.
