What I wonder about - this new turbo design - does it require plugging in that turbo module to engine`s oil supply? So far all what was told was - it requires 3rd radiator for intercooler and it is fine, I guess.
I never liked that concept of superchargers to be connected to engine`s internal oil circuit. IMHO it is like a major recipe for potential disaster, by variety of reasons, may be not quite probable to happen, but still quite possible. But it`s just me. So if this turbo`s only connectivity is to water circuit and exhaust then it seems to me like a design what should be bit more prune to possible damage factors.

Any reputable SC system will have an inline filter for the oil going to the charger.

as far as I know, it uses its own anti freeze to run from intercooler to 3rd radiator to cool the system off (water to air).
I am not sure about how the oil is supply to the turbo system, Josh or Casey can chime in after the holiday.
as an update, I stopped by today to drop off and pick up some other parts, they were swapping my stock injectors to GT2 injectors, Tom showed me the difference, it is a night and day, GT3 injector holes looks atleast twice bigger than stock ones, and the body is slightly fatter for better flow.

Our recommendation for our clients is our lightweight flywheel and the factory X51 clutch(recommended but not required). The X51 clutch works very well, is a factory part, and holds firmly over 500whp.
