I've heard of guys in STi's and EVO's trying the same and grenading their transmissions. But we all have our weak links I guess.
Fast is Fast.. period.

They are conservatively rated by Subaru's STi division at 800ft/lbs.
Breaking rear axles are another story. And a very common one.

I put a link to it on the 3SI forum and it sparked some good debate there as well http://www.3si.org/forum/showthread.php?t=344717

Your Co worker is a dumbass, there is no such thing as a Twin turbo eclipse. And its point less, kick him in the buts for beign a fucken ricer.
And the only twin turbo mistus are Stealths and 3000GTs

I know there isn't a factory twin turbo setup, he fabbed it all himself.
car looks stock and almost sounds stock, no stickers or anything so i don't see how its "rice". he also has a twin turbo stealth that he drag races.
the dude had an idea and actually did it. He said he is probably the only one with a twin turbo fwd eclipse.

There seems to be more turbo than motor there... I hope those turbo's are pocketsized.

yeah they are small, i don't know the exact sizes on them. I have seen the setup and its tucked in there pretty nicely. Hes spent a few hours at work staring at his fuel air ratios and other various points of interest in his tuning software. I took a ride in it when he got it done. i don't remember any lag, thats not to say there wasnt any. spins through 3 gears, its quite the ride. would be hell on wheels if it could get it all to the ground.
his name is Jon, hes from mn. some of you dsm guys have probably heard about it, i'm not sure what forums hes on. anyway back to the talon/z06 discussion.
sorry for the high jack....
