those look like super chargers not turbos. turbo charger use exhaust gases to spin the turbines, and super chargers use belts....
but it looks awesome, have you gotten on a dyno yet, what kinda numbers are you getting?
also which motor was this done to?

Yes agreed. Super charger. I think the OP mistitled his post but the video says it correctly. Amazing looking setup. Not clear to me what the central box is for, some kind of intake plenum. Clearly, air comes in through the green air filter, splits at the plenum and goes into the two compressors intake (central axis). The compressed air then dives in under the air filter. I would be very curious about the HP increase.

Great way to spend 20k. But if the gains are substantial, many would do it including myself. But again how reliable is it since it will void any power train warranty

If this is a stock motor, what a waste. Even with just 4psi on a single SC, the effective compressive ratio would be around 15.6:1 at sea level, a grenade waiting to happen on pump gas, IMO. Your going to be very limited on the amount of boost and timing you can run, so you've got all this pent up potential you can do nothing with. Sure, you can run water/meth injection, back off on cam/iginition timing, improved intercooler, etc, but again, not enough mitigative actions to turn it up. On a stock motor, my money would go with nitrous.

Impressive feat, but seems over-engineered. Don't see the point in rear facing SC's with a plenum to split the intake when it could be flipped and have individual intakes... Or a single procharger. But none the less, its an impressive feat, and for the comments above, anyone with this level of custom fabrication and this amount of money invested into a car does not have a stock block.
