no1 thought of the fact of how much load would be on the exhaust manifold???
it would be 1 big lever, forget the fact that it looks/is stupid, if u started it, the turbo would prob snap the maifold, ot rip the exhaust studs out of the head!!!

A lot of 800+hp Mitsu EVO's that I've seen do this, so I'm guessing it won't do anythingOriginally Posted by Wraith
Another thing I just noticed, it looks like the exhaust exits just in front of the left wheel....
LOL how long will it last before it melts and blows
But yeah...obviously this guy did this just for a laugh and I think the piping would burst due to drag etc. putting a lot of strain on it
You got romance. You got the boots. So, I just gotta ask. Can I get in your pants?
HAHAHA. Soo true!!Could you just imagine the look on a coppers face pulling that thing over to give it a canary/defect notice LOL priceless
Have to say, i've seen some home turbo jobs been done pretty good, theres a few on youtube, paddock bombs with turbos strapped to them, bit of knowledge, duct tape and cable ties can go a long way!!!

Yeh, I know, I bumped into him about 2 months ago and he told me about the whole thing...he still seemed very sad to have parted with the Calinah his cali is here in bundaberg now Ang
being treated well
he now has gone ricer and got a vtec yo civicI for one know how much he loved that car from when I first met him a few years ago...
I suppose it happens to most of us, when priorities come calling, like getting married and buying a house, the toys have got to go, that's also what made me sell my beloved 9sec Torana many years ago
Hopefully he'll be happy with the vtec in the mean time, he did tell me his next dream car to have would be an Evo 10, hope he eventually gets himself one
