Bailey dump valve.

Custom charge cooler with own separate water system, radiators mounted in front of engine radiator, separate water pump (Focus RS) and header tank.

Turbo is a Subaru Impreza TD04L on a Focus exhaust manifold, custom exhaust system, currently running 18PSI of boost.

Engine management is MS2, with boost control, MSD coilpack and leads. Launch control via dash mounted switch.
