Ahh yeah that's the Faro arm, it creates points in space right within solidworks. I haven't measured my engine bay though, I'm not sure what sort of useful information I can get...perhaps the motor mount locations and the intercooler pipes? Shifter hole? Hmmm....
I guess now is the time to if I ever were to measure it. It's somewhat portable, I'd just need something flat and magnetic to attach it to so I don't have to make a mount. Maybe the middle of the cross member is flat enough. I'll take a look.

I seriously thought about that, two GT2554R's. It would cost a few hundred more outright compared to the baller Precision stuff and cost more to plumb (and be more aggravating) but it would look cool. It's also been my personal experience that one properly sized single turbo works better than two properly sized parallel turbos.

I think the problem wit the twin turbo BP was that you had the wrong cylinders paired, or that there were just not enough pulses for the turbos to be happy like that.
Even if the veyron has 4 turbos, each turbo has 4 cylinders feeding into it.

I certainly think you made a good choice in the one big turbo here. the veyron is certainly different in that its a w16, plus there has to be a sweet spot for the performance gain from turbos compared to the number of cylinders.
I don't know ---- about ----, I was just stating that to be the devil's advocate...not meant to be serious at all!

I forgot to take pics of my sweet ignition stuffs I got from DIYAutotune a while back! I got their boost control solenoid too because my 10 year old GM solenoid is starting to stick.
Turbo arrived today. Precision PT5858CEA with ported S cover, ceramic ball bearing, billet wheel, ceramic coated vband turbine. The stainless turbine housing ETA is the middle/end of this summer, oh well. And I think I'm a precision dealer now
46mm EWG is backordered, should arrive in a few weeks.
