Interesting front bumper arrangement - twin rads on the side, then the IC in the centre. I spotted an oil cooler dangling from the engine as it was installed too...maybe that slots in next to the air intake?

Seems like a good setup for a gt style car.

I wonder what's been done at the rear if anything?

It's winking!

As if it didn't already scream "Look at me! Look at me!", some genius decided to slap an "RFL" blow-off valve in the engine bay. Now it also screams, "Listen to *wh-kushhh!*"

All that work and no dyno sheet?

From the description of that car, I don't think they cheaped out and I do believe they know what they are talking about. I would say then spent about $20k or more in the motor alone if its done by a shop. Keeping it all Porsche costs $.

Definitely respect for a huge project done professionally. But I really don't understand the extent of some people's obsession with "keeping it Porsche". I guess if you have buckets of money and nowhere else to dump it...
