      You gotta love the EGR Valve "wastegate". Come to think about it the guy was probably "wasted" when he come up with this contraption.

      What's worse is he appears proud of it. Probably the best idea to come out of the trailer park in years.

      WOW! I keep putting of buying a turbo because they are too much money. They are finally getting down into my price range!

      I wonder if the guy sell the carb hat in "rust and black", or if "rust and gray" is the only option.

      P.S. Charley... you could have saved so much money putting two of these on the Mule. ...schedule 80, schedule 81, whatever it takes. :icon996:

      Thanks guys! I needed a good laugh today.

      I want to buy it but I am confused? I need the fuel injection one and don't know if I should send extra money for whatever adapter that requires. I also don't know what to do with the carb. hat that I will not need-anybody want it? I'm thinking I can just remove my gastank and install this unit there. I may need a generator also to run that pump, guess it will go in trunk. Thank goodness I have an old outboard motor gas tank for fuel.

      While I admit that the idea sounds dumb and maybe he doesn't have all the right parts, but that system really does work. My buddy is the ricer type and he just installed the same kind of system (under the rear of the car) and now his honda is fast as chit! I took a little ride with him the other day and was extremely impressed with the before and after performance. All total with a rebuilt turbo he only has about a grand in it. Darn good money spent if you ask me.

      The recent STS Turbos articles are lighting up "remote mount" turbo kits all over the internet. To bad hardly anyone else has taken the time to make as good of a kit as STS did. Turbos do actually work back there and I plan on a T04 on my 334!!!

      Damn, a new idea for a carb box!!

      Just looking at his carb box and it reminds me of a meter base box, you know the box that the electric meter plugs into on the main electrical panel that feeds the house. Boy this has got the wheels turnin now!! I might be onto somthing big here...
