So far, the butt dyno says that this thing gives me at least 20,000HP more than stock. Give or take. There's a lot of turbo lag, though.
Anyone know if I put an HKS blowoff valve on that? I just want more noise from the engine bay.

And the torque steer will be a handful.

That pic reminds me of the guy that strapped a jado rocket on the top of his car...the tires came off the rim around 150...took flight at what speed I dont know but they found the remants very far up the side of a mountain.
So I think the warrantee will be good. Just put some flight surfaces on the car to get rid of the torque steer.

you both have very valid points. I remember when I first heard the story in the early 90's. had some great times thinking about it - and wondering how to get my hands on one of those rockets.

Yes I think that will void your Warranty, However you can hook up a larger turbo like I am going to and that may just go buy un noticed??
what do you think?
