This is one way to boost your car:

This is being referred to as the "Snorkel Turbo"

Sad part is it's probably faster than an rx-8. I saw this on another forum that mentioned it was running a 7.8 in the 1/8 with a 75 shot. Also before the turbo was "installed"

Edit: It's for sale here

That second car would probably work better if the output of the turbo were actually attached to the intake somehow.

that's just too much exhaust manifold for a motor that doesn't even produce that much exhaust. that thing has got to have a lot of turbo lag. people just have too much time...
