Home Depot turbo Cavalier
 
Ebay Turbo, PVC pipe, rubber clamp, oil return line into dipstick hole, and a giant hole in the hood to show off the awesomeness.

I...uh...

...I know this person.

I've been trying to guide him through his turbo kit install so he does it properly and doesn't blow up his engine. Obviously he didn't listen.

This is on stock fuel, stock tuning, nothing is changed.

He's running something around 8psi on an eBay 50trim. I can't believe it hasn't thrown a rod yet.

The exhaust is melting the alternator wires.

Yes, he drives around like that.

Yes, that is the turbo oil return line going into the dipstick hole...

ajax 05-27-2011 04:32 PM

dark0821 05-27-2011 05:24 PM

He overdid it with the giant hole and a pipeline sticking out.

"Yes, that is the turbo oil return line going into the dipstick hole...":haha::haha:

lolshit pvc piping, shower head tubing

lol wtf might as well build the thing out of sheet metal

MWR34 05-28-2011 02:47 AM
the oil feed and oil return needs to be clocked north and south.....

gravity doesnt work sideways.

Prolowtone 05-28-2011 02:58 AM
Hahahaha thats awesome that it actually works

twitchyzero 05-28-2011 03:18 PM
will probably fail after a few runs..like the '09 GT-R's launch control

around here, we prefer things to be built out of paper mache :troll:

Once the turbo kicks in, the hoods gonna pop open and smash the windshield!

vitaminG 05-28-2011 04:45 PM
my favorite part is the open exhaust dump right off the turbo, melting the alternator, and probably entering the cabin.

Stage two is probably going to be full PVC exhaust

tofu1413 05-28-2011 05:10 PM
i bet GM is patting themselves in the back for that motor not blowing up.

they could tell people how bullet proof their motors are and would show this as to people, how even an idiot, wont make this motor blow up.

Leopold Stotch 05-28-2011 06:25 PM
to be fair, that hood is cut amazingly straight. check out those lines yo!

Datsun 05-28-2011 08:42 PM
Hey man its all good...he's got black housing LED headlights.

4doorVIP 05-28-2011 09:09 PM
The fact that is runs is a win in my books.
Fail for not listening though

orange7 05-28-2011 09:16 PM

Effort, what effort?

The owner is just a cheap ricer; that junk set-up isn't making any power, it's just destorying an engine and proving there is no limit to human idiocy.

I wouldn't call that effort. Look at the hood cut job.. he could've put in the effort and make the edges look better.


it's more like A for creativity.
