Wow this thing has to be sick. I know the biggest complaints with these are iats getting out of control. A larger heat exchanger and other cooling help would be a good idea. If you are going to use a single efan then make sure you build a good shroud and make sure it has good capacity. Especially before you pulley down.

The IAT's on a TVS are not bad, the Radix would get out of hand. I see better IAT's the most people posting up about there turbos and prochargers, although mine is modified a bit.

The TVS is more efficient than a Radix, so IAT's shouldnt be too bad unless you push it pass 10psi or so
