their turbos are practically lag-less...if you ride around in a focus with that turbo(they make a kit for focus) ...youll swear its all motor.
also no where near as complex as a twin turbo, and these turbos dont need oil/coolant lines which adds to the simplicityFrom looking at their website, I'm wondering if they are even still in business????

an intercooler in front of hte radiator has been done, and can be made to work, but it is totally application specific as to whether or not there will be adequate cooling or not.
It's all about balance.
