Sorry if this has been posted before. But has anyone see this machine before. Looks pretty crazy. Are there many V8 owners that have turbo charged their cars before?

Wonder who built this? Cause the person selling has only had it for 3 months. And according to the article probably smashed it and trying to ship it off for someone else to worry about.

There was a twin turbo Soarer in the NZ Targa last year. I had some pictures of it somewhere - it was a real beast, around 500RWHP. Don't know how well it did.

Hrmm... only 330rwhp @ 13psi ... That sucker should be making over 450rwhp on 13psi with that setup easily on a safe tune if they reckon it should make " 600rwhp " on 20psi ... NO WAY will you make 40rwhp per 1psi of boost increased .

heh not wrong... i'd be pretty pissed if i spent that much money (a rediculous amount too!) for 330rwhp

If youre going to sell a car like that the least you should do is get some decent numbers on the board

Always got to be suspicious of built cars sold shortly after completion - why would you sell after all that effort?

Maybe they forgot to test compression and have now discovered the rings or valve seats are gone and it needs a tear down?
