New hood, clutch-type engagement for the roots blower, A2W IC.

And a boatload of money to fab it all up...

WTF is going on with this setup? So the roots pulls air from atmosphere and then feeds the twins?? That roots is not being fed by the turbos. Which is awesome for heat, but i cant see the w2a under the sc so how does it get cooled? Im so confused and ive set one of these up myself..lol. But a positive displacement wouldnt make sense to not be direct ported. again. WTF!

Also, in series type twin turbo setups, doest the smaller turbo spin WAY out of efficiency by the time the bigger one is pumping out real high end power? There is no way to clutch out or disengage the smaller turbo.Youd think that by 5,000 rpms it would be superheating the air. Anything under a T28 anyway. But youd have to go that small or you might as well go parallell or single.

Looks like the blower compresses air into the inlet of the turbos, then from the turbos into the plenum/WAI.

Hmmm...I bet its not w2a at all. It has an unlimited amount of water so its water to water. Air doesnt cool anything at all. However, I dont see where the single radiator would sit to cool off the end result. Also, its goofy picturing a positive displacement charger charging air through the turbo and system of plumbing. And where is the intake for the plenum if that sc is spit out to the turbos?

Uhhhhhh...
