What about the flex couple and wastegate uncoated sitting on the breather and N75?
Pretty sure those items fail prematurely as it is due to excessive temperature.
This is creative, but I would expect better spool then that (20psi at 3800 is what more capable twins can do) and the fact that you can't service the top of the engine at all isn't very desirable.
I guess with close to 3 liters of displacement I was hoping to see a 40R with this spool and BIG numbers if anyone ever actually got a single kit running.
A 35R will have trouble getting passed 500whp...

I gotta say I am usually a fan of vast stuff
even though they didnt build it I would be afraid to asscoiate my name with it. That looks like a huge fire hazard, not to mention ghetto. Interesting that they did tune without the MAF, not sure on how they got around that. Would be interesting to hear something. I just hope the owner doesn't expect to salvage that car if it does start on fire.. w0w. Oh on a side note since you deleted the MAF what about ABS and TC .. Doesn't work W/O the MAF.

...on platforms with FAR less drivetrain loss and FAR better volumetric efficiency.
...in Audi AWD we're talking over 675 Crank HP to get over 500 wheel. This is not an EVO.
You looked at a 35R compressor map lately?
Point is the 35R will struggle to beat RS6 power, and spool 500rpm later.

I'm sure they can find room for a MAF..
I agree with the fire hazard issue.. they need to be very careful with the heat sheilding.
With that said, I think you should consider giving them credit for trying something new and proving it actually works. Locating a MAF is a minor issue. I always said a single turbo setup wouldn't spool soon enough. I was wrong.
