Seems to have a electronic controller on the throttle. Looks nice for sure.

But raises other questions - why keep the vacuum pump? Why is there no oil cooler and why are the ports blanked off rather than looped? Have the internals been modified to bypass internally (or has someone found out if it bypasses internally anyway?)
