Hopefully they work it out, cause that setup looks like it could mean business.

I didnt noticed that at all. But take into account EGTs on a trubo charged engine and shit is bound to happen sooner or later. I like the idea, but it seems from that cut away like heat would be a problem. On a diesel engine I wouldnt worry about this too much as heat / compression is what makes it work.
