Yeah, Ima go to where my uncle works and jack a Turbo out one of the semis they got there. Then custom mount in my trunk. By the time I get to where Im supposed to go, the turbo should have spooled up by then.

They thing won't even kick in until you were already going 60mph Hell, even a t3/t4 is to big i think - takes to long to spool up.

Hey, mine was bigger than that! Remember the picture of it on my car?!?!?!

Your right, mine was off of an M60 tank. The one with the V12 chrysler engine.

We do have 3 turbos that size at the shop. They are for a "Special Project"

No it is not photoshoped....
If you would have read the entire thread you would have found a video of it running, and pics of the custom 4 inch exhaust, and the two corvette radiators welded together, not to mention an AC pump fabbed to cool the IC to below zero.

Initially it had 5 inch exhaust but it wouldnt fit so went to 4 inch, but still had clearance problems.

should produce 1500 hp.
good time to buy stock in the tire sector. :smile:

I have seen turbos much bigger than that, one almost as tall as I am.

GUESS how much that turbo cost?
Youll NEVER guess unless you read that full post.
Its lucrative
