That vid has to be a couple years old. Used to read about his build before I even had a Vega. I think he has posted here before. His site was hanger something, can't remember. If I remember correctly it is a blow through carb turbo setup and the intercooler was custom and is what is sitting on the carb.

Wow. . .it's been a while since I posted here!

That is an ooold video. Before those videos, it was running 6.30's in the 1/8th and 9.80 @ 138 in the 1/4 with a crappy cast piston engine with the turbos. Three years ago with the new engine it went 5.85 at 122 in the 1/8th. Unfortunately, work has kept me very busy, including a move across the country. I hope to get it back to the track early next year. I'm hoping for high 8's in the 1/4 once I turn the boost up with the little tire.

I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have, although most if it is already on my site if you look hard enough.
