That intake reminds me of the garret drawthrough intakes for holdens. They didn't 'look' all that flash to the untrained eye, but the were good enough in the key areas to get the things working. Guy's have put toranas into the 9s with those setups, you tend to start reaching the structural limitations of the blocks around the same time you reach the limits of boost/drawthrough setups in general with them.
I'll be using something fairly similar on the road car. They're probably equally as rare now, but the short hose to join turbo compressor to intake manifold - used to cost a fortune from various vendors, but the HQ fuel tanks had a short hose just as thick (and of course fuel resistant) between the tank and the filler, and they were dirt cheap. That was back circa 1989-90 mind you!
