Nahh, he was NA for about a year after it blew(and I mean leaking oil out of the side housing, I think, Ray can speak more about it. not really blown but he decided to rebuild after that),,, then he was workin on his custom build and I think he had enough with fussing with it....

His intake piping was all ceramic coated black by the end, it looked really nice. I don't know if his old pic threads are still floating around though.

The engine bay Jedi posted is one of the nicest I've seen though. One thing I will say for top/front mounted turbos, they look amazing. It's a bit of a shame my turbo is shoveled off under the engine back by the firewall because its quite pretty.
