Nice looking vehicle. It's a repost, but it's still good to look at. Turbo and nitrous. See it? Someone said that it doesn't work though.

Ok... before this thread gets locked and any of you get flamed for asking about said turbo...

Yes it's a turbo...
No it's not operational...
Yes it's for looks...
No I don't know why...

Search for "Turbo" and you'll see these pictures have been discussed many times.

That looks like the most complicated turbo setup I've ever seen. Is this for real ? He could have trown some stuff inside his engine bay to make it look real. Dunno, looks a bit weird to me. What's with the 2 CF panels ?
And if it is, well then the show had finally begun and more will follow. Let's say 1 more year.

Ditto, its a turbo set up its just not functional right now, its more or less just for show.
There are lots of here say about it but nothing has been confirmed for our cars yet.

I'm responsible for those pics, I took them last week and they can be found HERE. As far as the turbo as non functional, here is what I typed last week:

I did get a chance to talk to the people who did the body work and the custom turbo. The car's body work was done at Fiber Images, but the turbo, i'm not sure. If you want to find out, go visit the Fiber Images website. A lot of hard work was put into it. For example the carbon fiber work took a long time to do since some of the parts had to be fabricated. The rims are 5zigen 5ZR's and each was overlayed with carbon fiber, it took about 1 week per rim to do. The guy who fabricated the turbo is hoping to get about 50% increase in horsepower so it's about in the 160hp range. They test drove it and it's fast but since it's an auto, it's a little slower, but the turbo does make a big difference. The kit that they hope to make will be both for the auto and turbo, because I asked if there was a difference and they said know, it'll be for either transmission. Other than that, I didn't ask too much about it. Hope this helps.

Here's a link to that thread.

Update: I just called Fiber Images and spoke to the receptionist who gave me some info. She said the the turbo works. The car's owner is a guy named Albert. Mike is the guy who built the turbo and he has a fabrication shop over there. I called 411 to get Fiber Images # since the website is currently down. She probably thought I worked for an import mag, because she asked who I worked for. Anyway, I'll get the info ASAP. They I'll let everyone here know the 411.
