JMortensen Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Wow. WTF is the one with the turbos on the mufflers all about? It's about hiding the turbos. I'm not a fan of street racing or pretty much any other situation where you would need to hide turbos or nitrous or whatever else it is that people try to hide, so I'm not a fan of this in that sense. I have questions about the vinyl seats right above the turbos, but that car doesn't belong in there with the rest of them, in my opinion. He's obviously trying to be sneaky, not being a retard that thinks that you can just weld a turbo to a muffler for more power. Some of those lifting blocks on the trucks are freaking amazing though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in the muffler, but the turbos setup in the rear of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoNkEyT88 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 STS. I'm not a big fan of the rear mounted turbos. As I am a believer of thermodynamics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8INtheZ Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 My favorite one was the welded compressor wheel. I bet those welds were to rebalance the shaft lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careless Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 lol. i welded a 1 inch pass with no glove on my mig and I got some serious sun burn for a week, and this guy's practically guiding the electrode with his index fingers, which look like they're bleeding at the nails. all that for what seems like something to mount a tarp too.

Mayolives Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I especially like the "track set up" suspended pick up trucks. I'd bet they would handle really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beau M Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I think that battery may be the one that was in my Z from the condition of my battery tray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverarrow27 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Those guys don't really know how hot turbos get it seems...I'm sure they know by now : D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strotter Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 In the 19th (I think) picture, the guy has set up a waste gate as an exhaust cutout. That's an interesting idea. How tight do those things seal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How tight do those things seal? That was a throttle body, and the answer is they always leak a small amount of air What a bunch of knuckle-heads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proxlamus© Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 its a throttle body as an exhaust cutout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amorfin Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 They should make it illegal for those guys to buy turbos... before they hurt themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
