I thought from the way it appeared to suddenly spool up that it was a turbo.

Either way, it's pretty nuts.

oooohhh! I think I would like one of them. Might have to bin my eaton! I still think it is a turbo. And Carl has just confirmed they used them to give it some light running in before they fitted it to The Don *smiley*

if you look closely at the left front wheel, it looks like the exhaust is heading off towards the compressor behind the rad,

Thats shit!

What a waste of time fitting it, was it just a wank conversion, or are they all this bad?

I really hate the look of the shafts on those vortex Conversions.

Its probably fine, but it just doesnt seem right to me.
