Maybe he's running electric fans? Also I was wondering what was up with the fuel system, I thought it wasn't even hooked up lol, then I noticed it's a secondary fuel system, to guzzle up more gasoline.

That is the most elegant, well packaged TT job I have ever seen on a GS. I want to do that on mine. Where do I sign?

That tuner should get some kind of award for that layout.

Probably not, there's no harness hooed up nor is the fuel lines run. Great fabrication job.

I was wondering why 2 bov on the same pipe at the same place? Not very practical. I could understand one prior to the IC and after the IC. Turbo's look big. He must have an exotic setup for the fuel. I've never seen anyone direct fuel straight into the manifold, usually added somewhere before the TB.

Don't get me wrong, I love the way it looks. I wish mine was like that. I guess I'll just live the the TT setup I have

You run multiple BOVs if you are running high boost and need to vent more air than a single BOV can. Why does it matter where they are placed? Pressure is pressure. I think they are placed there for the symmetry in the design. Fuel is usually injected through lower manifolds, not before the TB. There is a line running into the intake pipe before the TB. It could be something like water/meth, nitrous, or fuel.
