The turbo outlet goes down and loops directly into the votec inlet. Then there is an elbow that brings it back down to the intercooler and it comes up again routed just like the Injen CAI into the throttle body.
I'm sure it runs -also the vortec looks BIG just like that turbo!!!

Well in defenses of the owner and if it runs or not. I know it would be great to think that scion life is the God given hang out of the world, but its not.
Just because the people who own it havent posted here or discussed it or posted pictures up, doesnt mean it doesnt work. The person who posted it, doesnt own it. So the odds of us getting more info, is limited to either: It being featured in a magazine, the owner happening to find this page, or me flying to Vegas and stealing the Damn thing.
But to say it doesnt work just because of ONE picture, is rediculous.

Actually, we have one more outlet. Kenny (ZPI Racing) is at SEMA right now. I'm sure that he is taking a few poke at this creation, as he too wants to do a similar setup. So, come Monday, I'm going to give him a buzz and see what he can tell me about this beastly looking ride.

I am not being negative about it.. I am just analytical of everything I see like this (The reason I dont run crank pulleys or a CAI thinking I will gain power ). If it is put together right, I dont see why it wouldnt run, I am just skeptical that it will produce any real results. The vortech goes against the whole concept of sequential charging really. With a larger turbo, you may be able to run more boost at a higher rpm and allow the vortech to fill part of the gap, but you will still get terrible lag (which is one of the main points of doing this.. to get rid of some of that while running a larger turbo). But, I am sure if it runs and runs well we will see more info soon. I just think you can still get just as good of performance on this car with a single compressor setup.
