My 1991 Talon TSi Compound Turbo AWD

Also, when I'm daily driving it or street driving during a Drag and Drive event I'll be using the rear 16-gallon pump gas fuel cell.

Also added front vertical bars to the front fenders. After calculating the down force, it had me worried so went ahead and added these bars. Once again, their mocked up and will have grade eight bolts and an added .1875 steel backing plate.

That looks like some really nice fabrication craftsmanship pgfpro.

I assume those suspension arms aren't plain old mild steel? Chrome Molly of some sort?

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.

Man! I wish I could see all this with my own eyes!

Are you pulling a vacuum in the crankcase?
Or is this ...er... more complicated, involving 'intake and exhaust' reed valves?

Ye getting at stuff and wishing you had 4 arms is a feeling I know all too well!
Finding someone with the gumption to lend hands that do the right thing and anticipate the required tool to pass etc is near impossible.

The bit of bonnet I can see looks interesting too?

Yes, pulling a small amount of vacuum. Pretty much a simple system that starts at the cold air intake pipe between the air cleaner and turbo with a 10AN line that go to an oil scrub then to the water trap and oil separator that goes to another oil scrub at the top of the valve cover.

It does take a minimal amount of HP but it doesn't amount to much when on full wack.
