I stumbled across this looking at pictures of tegs, couldn't figure out
the reason for the turbo being there?! Its obviously a show car but
i read the article and it stated it was turboed but, its obviously not
an actual working turbo system. The only thing i figured is maybe
he removes the filter and has a coupler he connects to complete the
turbo setup when he wants boost or to just run it all motor.

I dunno, i just found it somewhat interesting.

to me it looks like that filter is just sitting there on top of the charge piping.

But damn that looks like something out of a 2001 issue of Super Street magazine, or from the set of The Fast & The Furious. And the article writing pretty much goes with the car, too.

Are you guys sure that isn't just a modified skyline gtr? He probably swapped the b18 in there for reliability.

Looks like someone machine-washed a '99 Mustang and it shrunk.

I work for Source Interlink Media (the company that owns Import Tuner) and despite saying Feb 2009 at the top, this article is actually from 2004 when it was still sort of okay to do stuff like this.
