We've seen it, we've helped him out to get it running "decently".
IMHO it's a very poor installation with a very long charge air tract, very small IC cross section and you have to remove the blower and it's mounting bracket to simply adjust the rockers... not to mention hiring a team of spelunkers to find the spark plugs.
... and, Aaron, a turbocharger IS a supercharger driven by a turbine instead of a belt

His huge-ass low-quality pics don't enhance the perception of his installation, either. Oh, well, some folks don't understand quality vs. quantity...

Holy clusterfuck Batman! ~0 I'm sorry, but that just looks like a thrown together pile-o-shit compared to TCD stuff (trust me, I know 
)
My fave part is this...
"this system is a clear competitor to the fancy (and expensive) turbo system they (TCD) have recently come on line with."
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

Yeah, a "competitor" in that it looks all kludged, isn't proven, and he has nobody willing to make the parts.
How 'bout the brainiac "xatlas0": "Perhaps if I made a combination 1/2 air-air 1/2 water-air intercooler, with the water half replacing the radiator?" Uhh... yeah.
