Locomotive turbocharger....only weighs about 440lbs

Compare the size of the
locomotive turbo to an average truck turbo.

Compressor housings of the locomotive turbo and truck turbo

Turbine wheels of the locomotive turbo and truck turbo.

That isn't even close to an average stock turbo. That thing is HUGE.

:edit: you said truck turbo. DOH!

Two questions:

What RPM does it begin to spool?
And how much turbo lag are you expecting?

sesolcSTI · 06-11-2005, 01:06 PM

heh, that thing will take DAYS to spool up, not to mention the weight of it blowing out your struts, heh.

HOLY ****

As if the truck one wasn't big enough.

Whydo you have them?

That thing is insaaaaaaane, I love the sound of a truck turbo spooling, imagine the noise that thing makes!

I'm not sure it's going to fit all too well on that bike. You might need some bigger tires....

If this turbo doesn't break the sound barrier while spooling, I'm gonna be really unhappy.
