I see the word NOS in the text, and look at the plumbing closely.

it is quoted "NOS provided power, but at quite a cost: Money for the refill and 250 ps isn't enough" so they went to turbo...and quote

and i assume this is the standard 8, not the type s

This car has been around for quite sometime. From what I've read, this car runs off a Greddy T67, which is pretty big. I don't know what the Garrett equivalent is, but I know the compressor which is probably a TD-07, is huge.

I wish someone would design a turbo kit that uses ATP Turbo's GT3071WG, which is very similar to HKS' GT3037, but internally wastegated. Would be an easier install than an external wastegate.

Oh yeah canary, looks like an MSP to me. :D
