Rep Power: 342 No all 8 are in the engine bay. The 4 in the front have the compressor housing facing the front and the other 4 are right behind them with the compressor housing facing the firewall.
The cars got a massive front mount to boot

No way that the intake manifold would be back there?

^ If you look there, it looks like some kind of collector for the turbo that kind of slopes down into some kind of intake I'm guessing.
^ There's the top of the block. That green tape that you see is blocking off the intake ports so no debris gets into it. (Gotta remember, this *is* a V8.
)
^ Looks like it has the intake manifold on the engine in that shot. ^

Rep Power: 342 And heres the manifold I believe the finished product will have....
If you look in the pic of the firewall, you'll see a T shaped space that a manifold such as this could fit in.

Rep Power: 0 I don't understand why would a V8 engine with 8? turbos running at 13.5psi only push 730hp at 5800rpm and 710lb at 5000 rpm.
Aren't those numbers you could get from a NA V8 with just few mods....???
