There's several interesting things they've done to the engine.

The TMIC has been replaced with a panel filter to feed the intake to the turbo. I like that idea, a true cold air intake. And it doesn't cause backflow/air stagnation for the radiator because all the air is going into the engine to be consumed, not pressurizing the engine compartment. Very Cool.

Power Steering cooler.

Looks like an Accusump on the pass fender panel.

IAT sensor in the cold side piping, but very far forward? Lots of other sensors around the engine bay.

Is that a fuel swirl pot mounted in the normal alternator space? Usually the swirl pot is not in the hot engine compartment but in this application it may not matter. have to think on this.

I can't figure out what looks like all the ignition wires on the two blocks on top of the engine?

And the cylinder head venting is interesting.

I'd love to spend 30 minutes up close examining what they've done.
