Hmm, the turbo manifold appears to be cast into the head already.
+1 to HRmoneypit for a dang intercooler!
None the less, still an interesting engine

Alot of manufacturers are moving to this style design, all of the exhaust ports are already length optimized and collect before leaving the head. Along with the performance of optimized integrated runners, it makes the whole package smaller, leaving more room for larger turbo systems.

No water pump will fix the heat soak in feel
I see modified water systems and FMIC in the future
