    The engine is being built by Ed Uding at DMC Europe. He offers two options for 'Legend-style' twin-turbos; one is a pretty close match to the original prototypes, retaining K-Jet and the compromised tuning that implies (e.g. a customer in Canada went for this). The second option is a partial modernisation with the same turbos, intercoolers and general layout but with EFI (for reliability and power) and improved exhaust flow. Since I'm shooting for a 'hypothetical twin turbo production car' I went for the second one.

    Chrome-effect powder coating. Less prone to heat discolouration than actual chrome.

    Frame is in the way. You could pull them out but then the manifolds get bigger (heavy) and the compressed air tubing would be going next to the exhaust manifold. Anyway - he's more or less following the Legend design and that's how they did it.
