Your assumption is correct, it is the same basic design as the Ford Lightning, Ford GT (40), the new Shelby GT500 and many other well proven factory designs.

I have attached a photo showing the IC installed to the upper intake section on one of my prototypes. This should give you an idea of the layout. Keep in mind this is shown upside down and doesn't have the lower intake attached yet.

Please feel free to call me with any other questions you have.

For now I am not releasing any details on the 16V system yet in an effort to not make the same stupid mistake I did with the 32V system. I have learned from that mistake and plan to not release info until I have a few actual kits ready for sale. Due to the overwhelming demand for the 32V kits I must currently concentrate on fulfilling the commitments I have made to those that have orders pending. Once that is more under control I will start assembling the 16V kits. One bright spot is that a lot of the parts for the 32V systems will be common to the 16V kits. This will make the 16V kits happen much faster since I have already gone thru the major growing pains of getting most of the complex production parts manufactured for the 32V kits.

I always knew there was one thing the CS & TS guys could agree on.

And, may I add, just as good looking a system as any of them. Take off a few labels, paint a few items or cover them with black plastic and stamp "Porsche" on it and this setup looks like it came from Zuffenhausen that way.
