I put this here as opposed to the lounge in the sincere hopes that all of you turbocharged tinkering home mechanics don't do something stupid like this. I'm sad this was on a Mazda. At least it wasn't a rotary. The list of things wrong is far too long to list. This is almost as classic as the S2000 owner who installed the nitrous nozzle in the valve cover. Please people, if you want to modify your turbo, don't do it this way!

haha, thanks Fred. That's hilarious. "What's all that extra noise??" Haha

Where's the one about the S2000 owner who plumbed nitrous into his valve cover??!! I want to read that- sounds even funnier!

 

The S2000 owner, completely ignoring what everyone said about the reason why he wasn't gaining any power, eventually used such a large shot of nitrous that he froze a camshft under full shot which made it brittle enough to physically snap! I'm waiting to see the outcome of this turbo and engine.

 

OMG! and its an aussie, how embarrasing!

 

oh wow...... im speechless

 

how shyt that S2000 story is even funnier! Got any links to it? Did he do it on a forum?

 

Love the mx6 community responses, feels like home.

Hopefully the guy will keep everyone updated when it finally disinigrates.

Not to mention what it's done to the turbo, the weld jobs are CLASSIC.

 

 

Is it me, or do S2000 owners abuse the hell out of their cars? I know one here in Conroe who has gone through 5 or 6 clutches (and associated hardware) in only 30,xxx miles or so!

 

funny how that guy hasn't responded in awhile. he says he's going to be fabricating some sort of cover for the charge pipe/turbo. he's probably looking for a motor to replace...

you think you've seen everything, then someone surprises you...again.

 

thats pretty scary looking!

I think he would have a better chance making it with lego instead

 

Has the link to video been taken down? Cant seem to find it.

Nevermind. I found it.

 

Ha Ha!! WTF?? I needed that this morning. This is my new Fail sign.

 

holy fucked-up Turbo Batman!!!
thanks Fred, I needed that.


(I can't wait till MM sees this)

 

Copex is my new hero. I'm going to go do that to my Turbonetics turbo because I want to hear the air molecules collide...

 

haha, right on queue!

 

My favorite quote!!!!

 

holy god, thats even worse than me!

 

cmon guys, do we seriously need to laugh at him? cmon, there is like 5 billion other threads on like 2billion other forums about this 1 thread on the mx-6 forum
and now they're bashing mazda

sad sad

 

Oh yes there will be much laughing and pointing of fingers! Since we're counteracting the Darwin effect these days the only thing left to keep people under control is shame.

 

ahhh, makes sense

 

We're not bashing Mazda. We are bashing a fool that happens to own (abuse if you like) a Mazda.

 

 

haha amazing workmanship there! :D
