P.S. If you look closely you can see that they are actually using the frame rails as chargepipes!!!

holy effing ****. i thought putting it in a B6 was nuts they've gone and put it in a B5. that charge piping is clever as hell. i would have never thought of doing it like that. that custom front end saves so much more space than the OE radiator carrier. i want to see some numbers next

looks like the frame rails are used as the intake pipes instead of charge pipes.

It's nice in a way that our cars are getting old. The prices coming down as they have puts them in reach of more people, and any time a larger group is exposed to it, the likelihood that there are lunatics of the best kind increases. I love seeing this kind of thing - swaps like this, the VR6-T conversions, and builds like Siena is doing (the full widebody RS4 body conversion with V8 power) are just awesome.
