The turbo blew my first engine up, it cracked the block about half an inch from the head downward. So i redesigned the exhaust impeller with one less blade. So it hits boost a lil later and not as much psi... Other than that it worked great. I had to use a Perry fuel pump to get the fuel to dump when the turbo spooled.

Where is the water coooled system, or the "turbo charger" on the truck?? Looks like a normal everyday air cooled engine to me.

Yea 3.6 hp in a 2wd stadium truck is not a crazy idea, you always rip around at quarter throttle then half throttle stands it right up, and full throttle, well we wont talk about that. lol
