OK,
Just some hints..
How many air filters do you see in the first picture? What is that in right side of the pictures?
What is centered in the second picture?
What is buried at the bottom of the third picture?

Cheuk, is certainly refering to the nice two air filters on a turbo charged tib. However, this may seen normal, I mean one filter for the turbo, the other for the intake, but the catcher is that the intake goes into the wheel well, and both filters come from the left.
Also ask yourself, why the one turbo sits so high in the engine bay????? Normally they sit right in the middle, and what's with the funky header design.
Last for that anyone that still didn't get it. The pic is showing you a twin turbo application on a tib. Its hard to see, but in the 3rd pic you can see the bell housing of the 2nd turbo. Enjoy the dreaming.

Good eye....
Yes, It is a twin turbo application for the 4cyl Beta. In the second picture you can see two pipes... cyl 2-3 going into the turbine. The third picture does indeed show the housing for the 2nd turbo. The white elephant does exist, and this one is a non sequential unit. I couldn't believe it when I saw it... I was just poking around HKS Korea when I saw this car.
I didn't think anyone was STUPID enough to do this but the mechanics who put this together said the customer wanted to use two cheap turbos... of course he wasted what savings he made on getting such a rediculous exhaust manifold hand built. Shoot, he probably spend the savings on just buying the second air filter.
The car is soon to be converted to a single HKS GT ball bearing turbo. Some people eventually learn... after spending some serious cash.
These pictures are a good example of stupid things that can be done if someone is willing to spend the cash for it.
Now do you guys believe me when I say that when it comes to Hyundais, someone here has tried it, no matter how stupid it is.

Cheuk, this is NOT a stupid thing to do; someone has to step up to the plate and do it first! Respect to the guy who had the guts to do this in the first place! Any numbers on what it does, is it drag-specific or is it a circuit car?
This is a sign of the further evolution of the Hyundai aftermarket...woe be to the disbelivers!

It SU#KS.
Hence the change to a single turbo.
It is a street car. His only reason to do it was to pinch pennys. I think he saved $200 by using 2 small off the shelf turbos. But wasted $1000 on the complicated exhaust manifold and turbo piping and another $200 for the additional HKS filter. I can't believe the mechanics didn't talk him out of it, especially the guy to had to build this Frankenstein of an exhaust manifold and turbo piping. He wasn't looking for less boost lag or more power. He just thought it would be cheaper.
Nice to be an "innovator" but.... hey its his money I guess he can do whatever he wants.
