How NOT to turbocharge your ricer...

http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/14948316-post1.html

I thought about copying and pasting pictures, but decided I didn't want to taint our beloved DTR with this idiot's rendition of a power-adding upgrade...

EPIC FAIL!!!!!

I just posted the first post to eliminate the language in the other posts...

I just don't know what to say that wouldn't bring out the ban hammer.

I've seen (and done) some really stupid things in my life, but this one is now in the #1 spot.

You call him an idiot! I call him brilliant. I used a dryer hose on mine. Never thought of using PVC. I am of course kidding. Mine was a Subaru.

Well in that case, you might consider concrete for endurance. And, don't forget Scotty's blue-wool performance air filter.
