The power to weight ratio is about the same as a Z, nice.

That's just awesome. How does the turbo breathe though when they weren't feeding it air? Doesn't look like a lot of air flow into it otherwise.

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.

That was to help the intercooler.Not to feed the turbo.

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.
