It literally hurt to watch that video.

How the [censored] did these idiots get 450k subscribers?

I hope to god people aren't thinking this is the proper way to do things.

i can't help but laugh they talk about [censored] welds they had nothing to do with, then they do [censored] welds LMAO...

And WTF were they using Pam for? Why not just get anti-spatter from the same place they get their shielding gas from?

lmfao they said they were browsing the crown vic forums something tells me this is them:

Instead of getting some pipes properly formed and bent, they just decided random bits welded together will work that much better. The exhaust flow will be just super. rolleyes

If that car does ever start, the ensuing fireball will look great.

That's exactly what I thought.

I wonder if they know that they will need a tune for the pcm once the turbo is working.

1. Why did they cut the frame off?

2. Unless they're not going to bolt the turbo down why would the exhaust sag?

3. I can make better pipes than that welding right-handed!

Here's is the video for those of you who just feel curious like me.


Thanks to Haggards and their turbo build there are now another bunch of guys to are now building another Turbo Vic. Their build is kind of interesting too. What do you guys think?

I've only seen the vids for the orange one so far, kind of interesting. I look at it as a rough guide, if I was to do it I would do some of it differently but it looks good enough to let us know if it's worth the effort.
I think the guy said they would dyno it after tuning it with hp tuners.

The MotionAutoTV actually looks promising. I am curious what they will do about a tune.

Lets skip to episode 8. OMG the amount of WTFs! LMAO



They are not tuning the PCM, they welded the differential gears because instant forever locked differential.
I'm no expert but I think this build added about 30 to 50 horses if not less since the system will not be injecting enough fuel for all that boost.
I just hope for their good that some time in the future they start taking things seriously.
