[DeTomaso] NPC but it gave me an idea

I saw this and I was amazed.  Literally thinking outside the box.

We have very little room to plumb more pipes and turbos unless you give up
the boot area and your A/C.  I was thinking about how the Pantera has
almost no room for mufflers anyway with these dinky 11 inch ANSA cans with
horribly inefficient baffling to quiet the poor thing down.  Instead of
mufflers, I think a heat shield and a couple of turbos would be just the
ticket! Probably just as ... ummmm... quiet.  Just 5 or 6lbs of boost and
you might be able to get away without an intercooler.  Or fill the whole
trunk up with intercooler.

For your A/C, has anyone looked at the compressors for hybrid or electric
cars?

I'm not sure about power since you can conceivably tap 320 AC RMS from the
mains but it might just be 24V.  AC could be relocated to the frunk.
