Ebay Turbo, PVC pipe, rubber clamp, oil return line into dipstick hole, and a giant hole in the hood to show off the awesomeness.

I...uh...

...I know this person.

I've been trying to guide him through his turbo kit install so he does it properly and doesn't blow up his engine. Obviously he didn't listen.

This is on stock fuel, stock tuning, nothing is changed.

He's running something around 8psi on an eBay 50trim. I can't believe it hasn't thrown a rod yet.

The exhaust is melting the alternator wires.

Yes, he drives around like that.

Yes, that is the turbo oil return line going into the dipstick hole...

the oil feed and oil return needs to be clocked north and south.....

gravity doesnt work sideways.

Once the turbo kicks in, the hoods gonna pop open and smash the windshield!

my favorite part is the open exhaust dump right off the turbo, melting the alternator, and probably entering the cabin.

Stage two is probably going to be full PVC exhaust

i bet GM is patting themselves in the back for that motor not blowing up.

they could tell people how bullet proof their motors are and would show this as to people, how even an idiot, wont make this motor blow up.

Effort, what effort?

The owner is just a cheap ricer; that junk set-up isn't making any power, it's just destorying an engine and proving there is no limit to human idiocy.

I wouldn't call that effort. Look at the hood cut job.. he could've put in the effort and make the edges look better.


it's more like A for creativity.

because that's the biggest issue with this setup...

Pretty funny install.

Don't know why people are complaining about oil return to the dipstick. Do you know how many cars use the dipstick as an oil return, either for the turbocharger or crankcase breather system?

I bet it is still more reliable than the rotary motor.
