Neat idea but honestly that looks like it's going to be nothing but heat soak in that engine bay. Our engines already run super hot and adding a turbo in

I think he'll be fine. With the csf radiator and the vented hood. Such a bad @$$ setup... Wish there was more info in it. What turbo is being used btw?
