Hehe. Supra guys win the medal for putting some of the most ridiculously sized turbos on a relatively average/small displacement motor. A famous Supra shop is located in my town, and they are running a Garrett Gt47-80. They recently broke into the 7.90's in the 1/4mi and I believe they are over 1200rwhp. The turbo in that video is some sort of Borg Warner industrial turbo (probably off a train or something). Here's a link if you want to see some pics Boost Logic It's good for a laugh, but you have to give them props for doing such crazy stuff! Personally, I love it, even if it is unusuable, rediculous amounts of power!

I see that I need to post this little gem, again (always keep your hands and head clear of the turbo):
