That video is REALLY cool. I like the combustion wave propagation super slow-mo running sequence.. way cool. Yeah the turbo should move up top, but man it is already really tall, not to mention the effect on efficiency and lag it would have to move it. The emissions controls are going to be the hardest parts to fit, because you're going to have 3 more stages in addition to the catalyst in the photos(that's not a muffler that is a single unit diesel catalyst) in the US it'll also have the main cat, an SCR, and a DPF, if not a Nox trap and urea injection... and then the muffler, but since it's a turbo(turbos rule) it won't need a big muffler to be quiet. Or you could just run it loophole Cali style and not install the proper emissions gear and drive it, but that's not quite the right way to go about it. I don't think I've seen ANY numbers from anywhere yet either. Let me see if I can get ahold of some.

It does not look like the existing mounting systems will work. And the location of the catalytic convertor and turbo empellers is going to make installing this in a Vanagon interesting.
