We've posted about it before. Top-mounted intercoolers, built trans., Garrett HTA turbos, full exhaust, heat exchanger, upgraded pump, ECU + TCU ... made 852 WHP last time we had it on the dyno.

What do you want to know?

Sure thing ... it may not have been a post, actually. It's funny- once you've seen the car a few times yourself you forget it's new to other people! I'll look around for some of the older pics and write-ups.
