It looks pretty cool, but it hasn't done much for performance. That, and now I can't close my hood:

Need to make sure you've got a well-matched blow-off bivalve installed.

Have you tried unplugging it and plugging it back in?

I've been thinking about doing the same to mine... +50hp right?

Actually, now that I think about it, I could do a sequential turbo setup - I do have a smaller one sitting around...

Pretty much. Add some yellow paint and NOS stickers, and I'm sure it'd be up to 800 hp total.

Salted roads kill performance. Ask me how I know.

Yes, how do you know? I thought this kind of turbo would be quite well suited to a salty environment.

Well if it's any kind of turbos like the ones I used to find in my garden a bit of table salt kills them in seconds.

I suspect not. These ones seem significantly hardier. And prettier.

Really though, it's incredible the size that some of them get up to. There's definitely some mammoth mollusks out there. It's kind of creepy to think of a snail getting that big. Here's to hoping that ants never get that big...
