Why not contact them and see how they did it. If the 240 has enough room in the engine bay for the VH45 AND turbo, then there has to be a way for the Q

I don't think it's turbo guys.... It Looks like it ran 2 intercoolers as the intake system.. then on top of the motor is the 2 seperate Throttle Bodies... Reason why i say this is because you can see 2 throttle spindels, no turbo accessories and the article doesn't say anything about turbo. look careful. I could be wrong but yeah

Opps Scratch that!!!! I was looking only at what you can see.... it looks like if you follow the Intercoolers... you can see 2 other pipes that run in the lower sectio of the engine bay... that can be the twins. WOW.. Hey Send me some nico stickers!

If you check out the earlier pics, there seems to be enough room for a turbo each side.Then looking at the intercoolers, what use would it be sourcing air from under the hood when you could have a direct flow of air from in front?My feeling is it's twin turbo'd & I'd like to see more... :D

That is a good looking install. I think I would grind down the welds, and polish those intakes, though.

I am sure, for a mere $15K, you could have the same thing done to any Q.

No A/C, no ABS, no TCS, and very little room, for much else.

I think I am going to paint my VC's like that!
