Definately show-only...
The exhaust routing is all done in stainless steel, which (in this picture) is polished to a mirror finish. That wouldn't happen in real life if the engine was turned on even for five minutes at idle -- the steel would immediately turn to a brass color as it heated up.
Also, notice there's absolutely zero intercooling; it's straight from the turbo to the throttlebody. Yuck. Even if this setup was able to run, it wouldn't push any more than about 3-5psi for fear of overdosing on heat.
You also have to love the blue anodized caps that are blocking the turbo oil passages smile.gif

It's exhaust -- the 3 cylinders on that side collect right there where the stainless steel polished pipe is plugging in... That's the part I was referring to as "would be brass colored" had the car ever been turned on.
