Default whose running this turbo?



has anyone ever thought of running a jet turbine .. this would make sense and u would have no spool time..

plus imagine that bitch under the hood.

you would have to have some kinda of wastegate mounted to the charge pipes also.

You'll need one hell of an intercooler, that's for sure.

i could see it being no hotter then a fully spooled turbo.

seen that vid with the porsche and the TT's turning red hot.. i mean thats gotta be some hot air running through the IC

i guess u could use some kind of IC surronded by dry ice..

It would probably melt the intercooler.

you could remove your engine and replace it with that.

It burns up oxygen...

if you could mount a shaft to it and a compressor housing, then you would have something cool.
