I...uh...

...I know this person.

I've been trying to guide him through his turbo kit install so he does it properly and doesn't blow up his engine. Obviously he didn't listen.

This is on stock fuel, stock tuning, nothing is changed.

He's running something around 8psi on an eBay 50trim. I can't believe it hasn't thrown a rod yet.

The exhaust is melting the alternator wires.

Yes, he drives around like that.

Yes, that is the turbo oil return line going into the dipstick hole...

I can't fault him for thinking outside of the box to solve his horsepower problem. Sure the results are ghetto fabulous, but I am not about to dis his gumption. I some times wish I had as much drive in me to do the various projects I have floating around in my head, let alone the skill to attempt any of it. If I was capable of fabricating new parts for my car, I'd do it. But right now I am afraid to even remove, mask, and spray tint my brake lights. Something that is completely with in my capabilities.

So I am not about to hate. I am too shook to mod my own car, which would make me a hypocrite if I were to talk badly about his car.

I will say this though, the PVC mock up was "interesting".

Him running untuned I bet most cars on this board last infinitely longer than his

It is probably faster than mine :eek:

But thats ok, I will actually get behind the wheel of my car. I would definitely drive a prius before that though.
