Haha I'm going to have to go look for a turbo somewhere next week..I've been doing some reading about converting them to jet engines and it looks like it would be a fun project!

I've seen this video before, thought it was really cool.

But its missing something...

I think it needs a turnout stack instead of that little piece of pipe that shoots the exhaust gasses straight up!

So it not only drives the wheels but propels you with the exhaust! Dont get me started!

My pockets are getting shallow cause of my truck I dont need them shallower!
