Edit: Hey I just got to page 6 wheww. lotsa reading.. I see you droped in also GUIDO...

 

if i'm not mistaken that is the same turbo i'm selling in my thread "anyone need a turbo"

 

Well, that sucked, the stupid aluminum foil duct didn't even come apart, there must be next to no boost, just shows bigger isn't always better

 

If you read the other post, He states he is keeping it at 6-7psi right now.

 

lol you people need to pay more attention:

1) the car is park what kind of boost is it going to make? lol

2) the foil IS NOT hooked up to the turbo....it is simply away from everything drawing it some fresh air so it will run (like he says in the video)

 

exactly, the foil tube is just to get air from the MAF so it will start and run, its not connected to the turbo. If you want to point at something stupid, then note that the turbo housing is loose for positioning while fabricating and he is still letting the turbo spool inside of it daring a dangerous contact between housing and impeller. Also, dont try to touch a impeller while its spinning a few thousand rpm or its shaft, unless you think waving your digits in front of a redlined meat grinder is fun.

 

You know I was thinking the exact same things....

why does he have the housig loose.

I was wating to see him slip and see some blood fly too

 

Yeah, dude sticks his fingers IN the damn thing so close I was thinking that vid was gonna turn into a horror flick!

The overall design of the system looks pretty nice though as far as his piping goes eh?

 

yeah looks pretty familiar if you ask me, like some twin turbo'd vettes we have seen?....
