Right had drive vs. left hand drive makes component placement different, for one.

That's my dream, in a McLaren. Double dome at 200MPH...

update:

initial results came up with a mid 4xx hp at the crank and mid 3xx ft/lb torque levels ~17% drive train loss, you're looking at some mightly fine RWHP.... can't say too much on the TT kit's power since its not 'finished'.. but its on par with the ATI procharger's gains per boost levels... ECU is getting tuned and all is going well..

for information wise to those boost happy guys: the stock injectors is one limiting factor when it comes down to boost.. we have seen some interesting numbers on the duty cycle of the stock injectors and it doesnt look particularly encouraging if you want big boost/power gains (even with an FPR)....

the tuners have been driving it back n forth from the bosch dyno and the shop and they say the acceleration is much improved and the car is very 'light' as they have quoted...

more details later...

What's the possibility of getting that IC to fill the grill a little more?

the IC's size has been calculated for this specific TT kit.. going larger will not increase its efficiency any more so than its size right now...

more images in a bit..
