Cool find! Most people don't realize how simple they are. Aside from casting the housings.

thats pretty cool, if turbo's didnt seem like an arm and a leg to install/tune/hurt your pocket id think about it. probably be lazy and make a shop do it. time to strike it rich

Takes just 15 minutes to build a turbo.... Awesome show! Kinda neat to see how it all goes together.
