i think anyone who says its a waste is a moron, SUVs were geared to be VERY fast 0-60 vehicles, they have quick *** get up and go power, the fact that its an SUV really only concerns me with the "street racing" thing... because.. WHO TRIES RACING AN SUV?!?!? lol
anyways. i think a turbo compliments the engine in more then 1 way.
however when we get into "legal" discussion, i wouldnt want to see that thing on the track, i bet it would handle like CRAP, unless its fully gutted with a ridiculously expensive/custom suspension setup
Either way i bet that thing MOVES on the 4th mile.

to each his own. personally that one you posted a link to was a pos. the wiring looked like ---- the truck looked like ---- his gauge mounting looked like ---- as well as his custom turbo setup. i mean it gets the job done, but if you are going to do it please atleast have a little pride in your work and clean it up more than that guy did

like i always tell them riceboi's with the b/h/f series swaps... PLEASE for the love of god...
TUCK YOUR WIRES... your spending how many thousands on a swap and you cant take an extra 10 minutes to tuck your wires?? laziness kills... or the honduh guys that ground EVERYTHING to that front chassis mount next to the radiator. so you go from having 1 ground wire, to 17 and it looks like a black woman with dreadlocks ...
either way that SUV is teh-pawn... i would of liked to see a turbo tacoma or something instead but hey... this is just inspiring

Hmm lets see i have a whopping 500 dollars in the whole truck including the turbo kit wheels yada yada yada. last time i took it to the track it ran a 12.8 @113. STOCK 4.0 with only 10 lbs of boost.
Honestly what the hell is the difference if it looks nice or it looks like ----? Close the hood and it all looks the same... The truck was a budget build that was completed in 2 days in a garage with a damn stick welder and some old exhaust pipe i had laying around. Each to his own on the exterior mods.
Wow you come to a site called homemadeturbo.com and then bitch and moan about peoples turbo setups.
