OMG its HUGE...



IT arrived today. I knew the the RHB5-VF8 was a big turbo, but HOLY FUCKING SHIT BATMAN this is insane! YEs, that is a full-size CD, not a CD-single. If my transmission ever breaks I could just point the outlet backwards and use it as a jet engine. I'm hoping to keep my existing exhaust turbine housing, as then I wont have to make up a new O2 housing and manifold flange adapter, but that will depend on my existing housing mating nicely with the turbine wheel on this turbo.

Excited about new toys. Afraid I'm turning into a boy racer. Complete with bad taste in cars.

Uh.....for those of us not motorally or mechanically inclined, could you dumb that down a bit? :-)

Big new turbo for engine make Growler go *squee!* despite potential difficulty in making it fit. However, once fitted, Growler's car will go *SQUEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...* into the distance. Possibly with some sort of 'WarpDrive' effect.

My inner hetero male is confused about why your picture makes me go WOOF!! and is starting to realise he's trapped in the body of a big homo... *grin*

This bike, however, should keep you amused:

I think you need to take your inner hetero shopping for something domestic, like new sheets or something gay!

Really now, you worry me. Next thing you'll be building stuff out of wood and watching football.
