I'm interested to see how the new turbo set up pans out. It's interesting, putting the turbo in the valley.

it is a brilliant engineering concept. Reverse the flow of the head, dumping the exhaust our the top of the engine and placing the turbos in the valley. That should cut down the overall engine package size quite a bit, although the top of the engine is bound to get pretty hot.

I've wondered for a long time why it wasn't done like this. it should completely eliminate turbo lag on the exhaust side and make dual turbos pointless.

The only potential problem I see is heat buildup, but that could be easily taken care of with coolant id its a problem.
