Those are great. I love the turbos in the back seat idea.

The turbos on the mufflers shows some real out of the box thinking.

What's really amazing is that guys whose welds are practically art are doing that sort of work. Real top notch welding there.

There was no shortage of welds made with a Harbor Frieght welder. My favorite was the modification on the turbo.....tac welding the extra material to the turbine.

Can someone explain to me the muffler turbos? Or point me to the forum where they originated?

OK, if that's to hide the turbos from CARB goons, that actually seems like a good idea.
