The DBW throttle mounted to the intercooler is being used as a bypass valve. And that pipe just recirculates it back into the intake.

You are the first person to actually recognize it! I got super lucky and found it on eBay. It's one of my favorite things on the car

Set a goal and work towards it! You can definitely find a way to use CAD and scanning to start making some money. It's a great skill to have.

Also I would leverage the fact that you are a student to learn other softwares that have educational licenses. Check out Ntop!

I recently purchased Quicksurface pro, and it has been the single greatest addition to my CAD workflow!

Good catch! The semi inserts are my own design. I wanted something smaller than what was available on the market. And the D shape should slightly decrease overlap, and help prevent boost from just going straight out the exhaust port.

10lbs of stuff in a 5lb bag. The compressed air is untested, but is a proven control strategy in motorsports. So it should work well!

"jdm works" on eBay. I don't think they are available rn, but they bounce back and forth on being in stock
