One of the YouTube channels that I watch are auctioning off a cheap turbo chimaera they built..

Enjoyed that vid. Got some tickets now too....

Here's the playlist for the build. It is just a couple of idiots making it up as they go along, but they do amuse me.

That would be fun to win!
Also just bought some tickets…

Who won it, when are you taking the rest of us for a drive?

[Belle427]

Great result power wise, bet it's a handful.

[pwd95]

Not me I'm afraid...

[PabloGee]

Me neither, and I'd already started thinking about whether I'd transplant all the mods into my car, or sell mine and pay for a respray on that one LOL
A bit like imagining you've won the lottery.

[Belle427]

Any idea who their fabricator was that did the manifold?
I see they used surrey rolling road and Shaun of MS2 Tuning so well respected people.

Yep, I was using it until the mot ran out then swapping everything onto mine. Can't believe I didn't win

Yeah, was...

Love TDC and was so excited when they did a show and bought one of these.

Who reckons we can get a bulk buy on those manifolds?

Also made a note of that guy, whilst reading further into the world of supercharging versus turbo.
Apart from cost, it seems like a better solution for our low revving engine.

Then I just need to stop, and put my bank cards away before the wife kicks my butt.

Terrific gains for the outlay really, would be a shame to lose some of the V8 noise which a Turbo can do but maybe some exhaust mods could improve it.
Tools n Track on you tube did a Turbo conversion some years ago thats worth a watch too.

His new project looks interesting and respect to him for helping out, the Locost stuff did not interest me really but i watched most of it.
