amazing, kind of...
watch this video, these kids managed to get a turbo running with the most ghetto setup, but i highly doubt it will last

definately wouldnt do that to my engine, but it sounds sick with open headers

sorry if repost

 

Unbeleiveable..............

 

people with potential that have nothing to do.

 

soo.. why wasnt it hooked to his air intake?

 

i had nothing to do over spring break and my friend had a tubro so we wanted to see what would happen. the Turbo was from a junkyard for like 50 buxx. the thing wasnt even running that well. all it was was threw the exaust. i didnt think soo many people would view that vid...... there isnt goin to be no test drive caz that thing is too F**in loud

 

love the 80's lounge music!

 

No oil or coolant lines. That turbo won't last long at all.

 

After the open headers test, he chirped the alarm...Like someone could/would steal it.

 

That's great... What's funny is there is a company that makes something similiar to that for trucks but it replaces the muffler... You just take off the muffler and replace it with this turbo assembly, run the pipes and your set... A little development and I think you have something... or maybe not...

 

I've seen that setup that jdizzy speaks of....you might be on to something...I say go for the test drive! lol

 

is called remote turbocharging and is a efficient as conventional.. let me search the link...

 

here you go...

what that hell is wrong with that kid you dont dis the ralliart like that. save your $$$
and then do it the right way.

 

I'm pretty sure him and his friends were just messing around with a cheap turbo they picked up, no harm done.

 

This is pretty clever. The only thing that doesn't make sense to me is how they can say there is no additional turbo lag. I would think there would be TONS of additional turbo lag since the intake pipe is so long. There's also probably a considerable loss in low-end torque until the turbo gets up to speed.
