I was thinking the same thing!



Glad to know it's not just me...



The thing sounds like a monster, but doesn't really move...

i checked it out, its 5 psi and like 389 whp, or around 425 crank. lt1s reach this n/a so it's just a cool cheap way to turbo a car.



their kit starts at $3500, they will do it for any car i believe...

It seems like having a rear mounted turbo would compromise efficiency, but what do I know.?
