They could have done the video without techno music. Ive seena lot of those vh45de's. My only concern's are afermarket parts availability, and a manual transmission

Yes that was everything from what I remember, twin turbos, wiring starter the lot, I cut through the bulkhead on one side and shoved the engine as far back as I could to help keep the balance, its on stock turbo's at the moment but I'm going with 2 front mount evo 3 turbo's when funds and time allow.

I Had an sr20det in before running 280ish at 15psi, the VG at 15psi(standard turbo's) is completely different, power is delivered very smooth and not a big surge which makes for a much nicer street car and its a lot quicker than the sr

It is a very nice engine but it is a little on the heavy side, its a much maligned power unit and does not really warrant a lot of the crap that gets thrown at it
