lol.. nice one... I should have looked closely at the pics.. I just thought most turbo would be in the engine bay. Why run tubing all the way to the rear? Is it because there's not much room in the engine bay?

Incredible piece of work. I am wondering if you can drive this car though without the fear of it blowing up...

Should be no problems. My 997 TT had the same setup from the factory.

Whats the lag like due to the lenght of the plumbing? I have to say that this setup would be very hard to maintain. Car looks good though.

Ha ha.. Good question. I would imagine, that, just like the pressurized tubing, they also have to run oil lines back there.
It is an odd setup. I wonder what the "rubber banding" affect would feel like from the lag on this car.

You know what pisses me off... People who join the forum, post a few pics to promote their product and interested members ask some questions and the OP is not polite enough to come back and answer them. Pretty damm inconsiderate if you ask me, but that is just me...
