[s-cars] Lotus Elise with an Audi V6 Twin Turbo Engine

[Adam D.]

This is most definately a 2.7t.  The "Y" pipe is actually the pre-turbo
intake, splitting the metered air from the airbox/MAF to the two turbos.
There are two tubes discretely mounted in front of the motor which feed air
from the intercoolers to the single throttle body at the front of the intake
manifold.  The turbos themselves are mounted low and toward the rear of the
motor on an exhaust manifold that looks strikingly similar to a 10v turbo
manifold with 2 runners lopped off (read: a poor design).  Want to gain
access to the turbos?  Drop the motor.  Its the easiest way!
