they are all excited 
worst fabrication EVER
the coulple of pics on that jalopnik website or whatever of the turbos mounted to the mufflers and then mounted under the rear seat are actually a very well fabricated build. he even went as far as making the sidescoops functional as the intake for each turbo and made a custom set of aluminum side skirts as charge pipes. it was a very tasteful and creative build but i believe the builder fell very ill/ had to get major surgery or something. wish people didn't put his stuff out there like that.

First off, the turbine inlet AND outlet are mounted in the same air path. Wont work.
Secondly, the wastegate is routed Backwards lol. Wont work.
It's not so much the Fabrication quality, but the flawed design that makes it funny.
EDIT: LOL, I just saw the other picture that shows them mounted under the back seats! When looking at the picture of them on the bench, I thought the Inlet/Outlet was coming from Right to Left. But it's the other way. So that now makes the wastegate correct however, the turbo is going to spin "Backwards" because the Downpipe is now the Up pipe LOL.

the mufflers were completely split open and the up pipe was welded inside in the correct configuration, the muffler chamber was left open for the downpipe and the gate to dump into which is actually on the technical side of things a good idea because it would keep more temperature on the up pipe increasing the thermal efficiency of the system. heat expansion drastically increases spool time. try and look on theturboforums.com for the build, the guy knows his ****.

Boy I should take some pictures of some of the **** that some of our guys weld at the shop. We use some high powered Miller welders (440v) and guys can't weld 1/4" steel together without it looking like bubble gum.

It's no real suprise he had result like that with a chocolate/cast falnge and gasless welder. If you look in the pic of the welded face of the flange, the welds havent even penetrated, just "burned"!!
