Default Big Bird's transplant. Take 2
Hope you guys dont mind but the other thread is getting too long (2yrs old) and a lot of custom changes being done. Good news is this time its almost complete. I came from Scargo today and I personally took more detailed pictures of the motor's progress

3.8 twin plug twin turbo
















I was honestly stunned to see how nice it looks and a crazy thought came to my mind. I thought of not installing it and just to enjoy it in my living room like a work of art.

That's totally ridiculous. Major motor envy. Who fabbed up the intercooler pipes? And what kind of IC is that??

Is it a Motronic MAF based set up, or have you gone for something else? If it's MAF what one are you using for that power? Not a stock 993tt one i'm assuming?

Fantastic build reminds me of a year or so ago when Protosport built my engine. Mine is an extreme single turbo edition.
