PISHTAS turbo build
True; and that is the example I should have used, because it demonstrates exactly the same thing. Ask Serj how it runs, compared with before..
FAN-TASTICALLY! 3,000 happy miles and counting on this setup. 18-20mpg and that silent wooosh whenever you want to pass a car on the freeway with effortless light pedal tapping.
I had done the supersix total modification beforehand and rebuilt the entire head with new valves, seats, springs, everything, and it was kind of faster than before but Priuses were passing me up and I could do nothing about it - couldn't even catch up and I am dead serious about that. I had to mash to pedal to try to get to freeway speed even. I put a muffler back on it previously because the motor worked so hard it sounded like I was making all kinds of power but wasn't going anywhere. lol.
Brandon is out resident turbo non-believer. He's just stating how he feels about the whole thing, which is fine - but I feel like he hasn't tried it, or been near it. Someone go give him a ride with their turbo slant and show him there's a reason to do it, otherwise he won't be swayed.
It's either that, or Brandon was up really late building the fastest turbo slant block the world had ever seen. He had shelled thousands into it, and had it on the chains ready to go in the car, when suddenly DISASTER STRUCK! and lightning struck the engine hoist, and broke the chains, when the block fell and crushed his cat. He was devastated and burried the block and cat in the backyard with a tombstone of plywood that says "never forget" and swore revenge on the turbo slant. To this day he has been scouring thousands of posts to tell people that they can get 200hp out of N/A modifications, just to save them from the similar heartache that he felt.... on that fateful day...
