Three things that Turbo Yoda and I were vigilant about when we started the R&D process were efficiency, throttle response and no hacking - particularly to structures like the front crash beam. That meant no long exhaust manifolds for a high mounted turbo, no long intercooler piping around those structures and definitely no heat exchangers taller than 7" out front.

We'd seen pretty much every other kit available first hand and saw W2A as the only way of eliminating the massive compromises in all those areas that come with A2A on this platform.
