        Wow.
        My first thought was "must be a mid-build picture, no exhaust".
        According to the OP (fwiw) it's the finished product.

        Where's the betting pool for "how this will end badly"?
        I'm guessing "fire" is the winner, but I'd take "crash after passing out from CO" on a long shot

            I love it!
            Common sense is just a way for "The Man" to hold us back. Break free from those dubious principals everyone else is constrained by. Fly Brother, fly.

            On a serious note, I've seen smart people do stuff like this and come away with some pretty cool innovations. Or maybe he's just a retart and not even thinking about boot strapping himself into something truly creative and cool. It's fun either way.

                    Yea, agreed.
                    I can't believe it runs very well.

                      Lol, I started laughing right at the OPs opening line:

                      "I... Uh...

                      ...Know this person."
                      Before you criticize someone, first try walking a mile in their shoes. Because then you'll be a mile away, and you'll have their shoes...

                            Your second grade science project was better than a running, ghetto, Home Depot turbo on a Cavalier?

                            I don't understand why people don't see how amazing this is. Other people spend thousands of dollars turboing their rides and attend to every detail only to blow up 20 mins after initial start up...if it ever runs at all. This guy made a working turbo for what...$80 or so?

                            That's frickin incredible.

                            Prolly runs like ****...but that's beside the point!!!
