You can turbo anything. The same basic rules apply.

Yes, as James says, basic rules apply. You could turbo your lawn mower if you were so inclined.

You'd need one of those electric superchargers off ebay for that.

my mate made this video for his uni project which was to market his own turbo kits for flat 4 air cooled engines its alittle cheesy but he still does some kits for beetles and the like if the intrest is there...

Speeding is like masturbating, everyone does it, but not all of us film it and put it on the internet
