Yes it is pretty ridiculous.This car was tuned on 91 pump gas.There is alot of airlfow from under the little engine so it can get a bit of cold air.The intercooler has an electric fan and it keeps the charge air temps in check.0-60 times are in the 6-7 ranges based off of my seat of the pant impressions.We have seen an improvement of over 90% at the wheels and this car still has a cat which is actually pre-turbo so this car could pass CA emissions easily.The power to weight is better then the Z which means...unsuspecting Z owerns could get beat by the roller skate on wheels..It feels quick and has lots of torque.The people that got a ride in it were crapping their pants.The Hyabusa swap is expensive and difficult and requires modding the car way too much.This is easy.

Why not? I have turbos on everything I own. Next victim is my F-150. The smart was running 5 psi and 8 psi on a GT20 turbocharger.Full boost at 3000 and it revs to 6500.LOL.









how much boost?
