Default Now THIS is a turbo.
Turbo Vid
I would hate to jump ahead of this Supra only to get sucked in to that Black Hole of a turbo.

That's retarded, it doesn't fit at all. Dyno queens and I like supras, just not when they are useless.

I can't watch the video from work, but I am assuming it is the one with a HUGE turbo that blows a head gasket while the guy is leaning over it. If it is the car has gone VERY fast in street trim before they put that turbo on. The only reason they put that large of a turbo on the the car was to see how it would react, not just because they are stupid Supra owners making a dyno queen.

I like on the 3rd pull when that idiot puts his hand on the motor, then some spark fly off it and he jumps back real fast, what a dumbass.
