	I love those screamer pipes - Look at Moby Dick (first thing I thought of when I saw blownimps Car) - stubby elephant-wang exhaust and screamer pipe alongside it. And the sound...Oh, the sound...Standing next to a 935 being started and then having it's throat cleared is astounding... *n

	Maybe it's just me, but that seems an awfully large turbo for it's application.. how big are the front treads? I assume it's FWD or is it 4WD? Excuse the ignorance.

	I know nothing about it other than what's in that VW Vortex link, which isn't very much...

	Looks like there's a few people who think the turbo is too big... that's all good though, you just use nitrous to spool it up, but... my worry would be attempting to get traction when you're boosting from such a huge turbo. Will be intersting to follow the progress anyway.. if there's ever any video footage of it doing a run, be sure to post it!

	look at the artistry of these two The top piccie of the pipe work was a guy that had a 2 litre Pinto lump, with a turbo, but the turbo was feed via a helicopter turbine (parafine), giving it serious boost pressure ALL the time. Very Quick, Very Noisy, I stood 20 feet from the 8" diamter exhaust on the start line & got a jet blast !!!!!
