Default Looking for a picture of a big turbo.....

It was posted here a few months ago and I did a search for it but the pictures in the topic arn't loading. It was a drag Vette with a single turbo that was the size of a D series block! Does anyone have this pic?

Yup. My brtoher works on a fishing 'factory' boat, and he says the are just like that.
He goes down sometimes when they start the engines, just so he can here them spool up....

Most likely pumping water. It's NOT a turbocharger.

farns thats lee howie's corvette...doesnt run coolant the water jackets are blocked off. i have a really bad video of it somewhere. if i can find it ill post it up. at king of columbus i think he ran a 6.9 run which is pretty sweet. the turbo is off of an earth mover and it only pushes 9lbs of boost. crazy if u ask me<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Farnsrocket &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Was it this one?
