His goal is to make 800+ WHP. Best part is....the a/c is still in tact and the car gets driven....at 26 mpg when the supercharger is off! The STi has 2 GT30's and an AMG Supercharger.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"

Its all pretty and all, but I wonder what type of engine management he's running, and if this runs right at all.

I remember seeing this car run in Arizona and seeing the engine bay before hand. Insane is right. I think he's still getting the bugs out though as the last time I saw that car run which was awhile ago was 12.2ish in the 1/4. Not that fast... Although last I heard he made 5xxwhp and some ridiculous amount of torque.

While it's impressive, aren't there faster examples with MUCH less work?

Oh yes But I'd give him the benefit of the doubt and that it still has bugs to be worked out.

I think its a matter of uniquness and just the fact that the person that built the car probably enjoys doing so - maybe its a shop project and what better way to get a shop known for high quality work then producing something like this. On top of that what about power band accross the rpm range. Maybe he did not want to have 500 rpm of usable power - who knows. While I do not know first hand how the power would be distributed with such a setup, I image its a little different then slapping on one large turbo that takes hours to spool.

I have my doubts... the first photo with the hood closed looks like a photoshop...Even then, thats too small an engine to power 2 GT-30s and then theres the parasitic lag of the supercharger... it'd probably be slow as hell, until the last 500 rpm before redline.

I suppose this earlier pic is fake too.

That's the problem with you people. You rely on this software instead of use it to enhance the skills you need to be photographer, so now you're stuck in this "photoshop" world where you constantly question everything you see. Get real, pal.
