Re: check out this twin turbo setup

Did you know that car even still has power windows? I saw a pre-release article about it. The owner bought the XLR off ebay and stripped it down.

Re: check out this twin turbo setup

Kind of scary seeing the fuel cell in the front of the car like that.

Re: check out this twin turbo setup

i wonder how long those turbos will last being on that angle,everything i have ever read says that the shaft should be paralell to the ground. the way they have those mounted i wonder if the rear oil seals in the turbos will hold up.

then again to build that kinda car they got money to keep replacing turbos lmao

Re: check out this twin turbo setup

Good point, but then again it looks like that engine is dry sump so i imagine the oil is scavenged from the turbos too. Especially since they are mounted so low
