So you aren't wrong but its hard to change people's terminology once it has set in. But in any case, BNR's can handle a lot more than the stockers and so your build makes total sense.

Now are you running the BRN's sequentially or no-seq?
Yeah, I should have specified. Thanks. They are still in sequential. In the passenger corner of the engine bay you can see a custom built setup which is the pressure and vacuum tanks. I built them out of aluminum with the internal area the same as stock. I also made my own valve setup made up of Mac valves. I’ll attach a pic.

Looks cool. I don't envy needing to remove a fender to trouble shoot. Hopefully once these are working right you won't need to get back in there for a long time.

I also thought he was talking about the stock 93 twins..
Pretty clever hiding those solenoids under the fender, better than under the damn intake manifold

I would disagree. Removing a fender is just asking for scratches on what looks to be a very nicely painted car. Removing UIM is not very difficult once you've done it a couple times. When there are issues, it's nice to be able to go into the intake and put a boost gage on various lines to troubleshoot. Seems like it would be difficult under the fender.

I can see both points of view, but I like a custom / simple / clean look on my builds, so that’s why I put them where i did. Same with my Supra build…
