IMO, turbos are tough to make visually appealing. I own both a twin turbo car and a single turbo car, and the turbos just look like they've been "hung" on there, even though one is an OEM setup.

Gale Banks probably does the best job of making a twin turbo V8 look visually appealing and "engineered" instead of just "hung on".

Below the Gale Banks TT photos is the nicest blower setup I've ever seen, on a one-off V10 Mustang project. IMO, that competes very well with a set of Webers or ITB's for visual appeal.
