Watch the one where they chucked a WRX engine in a beetle. That probably one of their best project cars.

I laughed at that too, plus all the grumbling over access to things. Is it not a pretty rare car to be modifying? All be it I suppose there is no hacking up involved.

I'm sure Moog will take a different aproach removing the rad next time. Episode 3 now out and I'm concerned about few things 0 removing timing cover breather and not fitting a second breather somewhere else, no mention on reducing CR and the engine is probably Cooper version so 10:1 CR? No bung to fit lambda sensor which they'll realize in a second I guess but it was easier to welded it while the manifold was out.

Am I the only one who actually tries to watch it, but gives up simply due to the characters in the video?

I generally watch them for the cars and the professionals they get to help them....just tune out the two main guys.
The AM auto guys they often get to help them do some interesting stuff as does the Haltech guy they use.

I am pretty sure the cooling is built into the manifold not the SC itself.

I could be completely wrong but I think the cooling system connects to the outer case of the charger, it looks like there is something bonded to the case. Seems like pretty good power, they ditched the decompression plate pretty quickly anyway.
