Turbo Club. Anyone install a turbo themselves?

So how many of you have had the opportunity to convert an NA car into a turbo car? Turbo to bigger turbo?

 

What was the result? Catastropic failure or is it still going?

 

Got any idle clips or videos?

 

Heres a few of the Camaro. Its much faster than it appears in the video, thats the ebrake handle rattling.

A couple quick pulls

Next proposed upgrade is a 60trim compressor wheel to replace the 45trim, and getting the housing machined. Somewhere around 20% increase in efficiency, cooler and denser charge, with the same 2500rpm spool.

 

This thing is a hoot to drive with a 2500 stall. Like a slingshot.

 

So what have you worked on/built with a turbo?

Cool. :)

 

In answer to your question, Yes SAAB 9-3.

 

And yes, went well, then went off like a grenade after I went too far.  :lol:

 

No pictures, sent it to the crusher.
