I was referring entirely to the latest P1 car and tub as it was the base for the Acura.

I suspect the tub is pretty good but it is not bespoke (like the Porsche) for the engine installation.

Yves Courage has a great knowledge of Turbos given his experience with Porsche and Nissan. Given the dearth of P1 Turbo motors when the LC70 was conceived, I suspect he had NA in mind in the design process. In P2, there is less power and less heat to deal with so it would have been less of a problem.

I would be interested in hearing your views on 'intercooler design' being the problem not air flow. Chamberlain and Dyson ran AER Turbos within the past two years and they seemed to get sufficient cooling with those massive scoops.
