One guy made headline news after hooking up a similar turbine to his car. He crashed his car and his body was found in pieces...

Yeah, but it's sweet though ;)

Cap, That was on Top Gear a while back.
The Rocket Powered Robin Reliant was waaaaay better

Oh,
Looking at that turbo thing is hazardous to my mental health. I could spend 24/7 on a regular go-cart. Imagine turbo! How much fun is that! It's like I completely forget my age. :D
