****** idiot. Only a ricer could come up with some STUPID **** like that. Lets see, restrict airflow through an already restictive turbine by welding the fins together? WTF? Not only did he ruin the turbo, he ruined a BRAND NEW turbo. He should have done this on a USED turbo. Im not even gonna talk about the balance problems.

I hate RICE and RICERS.

Excuse my rant. Carry on!

I can only assume he wanted to produce more backpressure to somehow create more boost or spool....


hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha! !!!!!!!!!!!!

Ricer engineering, and the sad part is that they will defend that **** with their lives!! Please get this person on this thread to explain his motives to "weld" some shrapnel to his turbo.


OHH!!! I got it, its to blow the tires out of your opponents before the race since it will shoot out of his rattle can exhaust upon acceleration. Now, i wonder what he will do when we races a real car and its in front, not behind?!


hahaha!!

Let us all pray that those "fins" let go and slice his jugular. That way he will be removed from the gene pool.

Jim Bob :said
Hey Geoffrey what does it mean when the destructions say make sure you balance the turbine wheel after welding on it.

Geoffrey: said
Yea, Right by where it said not to weld on the impeller in the first place


1 used turbo on ebay 199.00

Wow you guys are a tough crowd, I counted not one but two tiny tack welds on a couple of those cute little fins. I bet its reinforced underneath with either super glue or duct tape or something.
