What do you like about it?

While I applaud the placement of the exhaust valves on the inboard side in order to reduce manifold bends, I just don't like it from a maintenance perspective.

Personally, I think the only "proper" turbo arrangement for a vee engine is with each turbo fed from one bank.

I hate to be a naysayer, but that thing looks like a nightmare.
