It's damn pretty! And pretty damn pricey too!
I like the looks of the turbo arrangement also.

I'd be afraid of scooping up roadkill with the intercooler though.

Not cheap but compared to a weber kit its just
a couple of hundred dollars more but then you
need the ecu and fuelpump etc

It looks to me as if Borla is simply re-packaging a bunch of hardware. That's a Weber down-draught manifold---available from various sources. And the injector bodies have been around for years. I wouldn't be at all surprised at all to find out that you could assemble the same deal at a considerable savings.

That's been around for years.   Looks like borla bought TWM.  TWM had been looking for a buyer for some time

It is the TWM system.  Nice parts.
