I think the hard part would be finding a turbo small enough. Those things are rare and expensive.

It would be cool as hell though.

Are you joking?

If you are serious, I would suggest building it out of wood. It will last longer and if you are ever stranded on the side of the road in a snow storm you can use it for firewood.

Do you understand the complex design of a turbine? You can't just throw some ---- together and hope it works. That's one of the craziest ideas I have ever heard. I think you took the term "Homemadeturbo" a bit too far. :P

good luck. do you know how to derive a cross sectional area to create the desired A/R? Or it might be easier to start with the a/r and integrate to find the f(x) to get an idea of the area needed to start making the housings. Thats some complicated ---- right there and thats the easy part.

You dumbfuck how are you gonna make a turbo from scratch

Read about how a turbo works and how it is designed, then you will realise what ---- you are talking

Just my 0.2 but im sure that everyone on this site is thinking the same!
