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.

Is it just me, or does that skeleton vehicle look like the engine is
in the back and the steering is on the other axle (aka Vanagon like)?

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.
