It looks more efficient than BMW's twin turbo V8 which has the turbos on top in the V and require a reversal of the intake and exhaust sides of the heads. (Intake on the bottom and exhaust out the top right to the turbos.) Also would considerably lessen heat issues compared to the BMWs. But wouldn't they need some kind of cooling for the intake charge?--Bob
