Every once in a while a thread will light up the internet and over the past couple weeks this one thread has been passed around the enthusiast sites and back. This one comes from MX6.com:

"ok my new turbo arrived... no go coz everything was way off measurements etc. so I took off my old T3/T04e 57trim and welded 1/2 of the fins (not fully closed shut as you can see) on the hotside used to spool @ 3000rpm & get 5psi @4000rpm now only 2400rpm & get 5psi by 3500rpm.

way more torque(throttle response was amazing too) @ around 2000 rpm it feelz like my dads supercharged v8 now ^^.... weight increase by a total of 3.5grams (6 fins) + maybe 2-3 more grams from the stainless steel weld spots (pic was taken when finz had minimal weld spots). btw it has a bit of the whining sound when spooling ... I like it alot but letz see how long it'll last."

This member even included a wonderful picture:

Read the thread for the obligatory douche comments and forum roll call: Turbo Mod with VIDEO!

Near the end of the thread you can find an actual website dedicated to the turbo build, along with the video of the turbo spooling: CopexTurbo.com

Genius? LOL...who knows, but I'll keep my eye on this one...
