This guy claims that this setup pushed 20lbs of Boost,  wouldn't that  be
to much boost  to push without an inter cooler?
Also note that there are no pictures of that set up in the car. Those two
turbos are very high and wide , they look like the right side turbo would
necessitate the repositioning of the over flow and pressure bottle. I also
can't see where or how the exhaust exits the plumbing.

P.S. I came across this magazine while surfing the web
-Modified.com<http://www.modified.com/>
It's about newer cars from what I saw in the few minutes I looked at it but
I thought it might be of interest to the average Pantera owner ( if such a
thing exists)
