Overall size, its limited by the carbon air box and battery position, have to keep it cause of the rare nature of the car

If you run it non WI or spray it gets hot! back when I had it twin turbo and only on about 380bhp @ 1 kg boost it would pull about 70deg C charge temp in the top of 4th gear on a 28 deg C day.

I do dump allot of water on the IC, a trick I picked up of the old Benetton BMW F1 car when I red an article from their engineer who said how much they put over the core per lap in qualifying to keep the charge temps down to 45 deg C.
