Is it just me, or does that Turbo conversion look a little janky? Also - Is that possibly the worlds smallest turbo?

The turbo looks like it's a Gt15/17, it's a bit hard to tell though, with the quality pictures. At a guess, with that elbow, it looks similar to the old diesel Astra 1.7 turbo

Why would it need a larger blower? It's only a 1.2L engine in situ. No?

If it's only running a few psi, it probably doesn't require an intercooler either.

You guys are too quick to cast dispersions sometimes... ;) :D

Like this post a lot.

This conversion looks like its been done by himself. looks like hes thought ide like to turbo this and actually gone and done it.

Yes it probably is crap on all sorts of levels but still. Someones had fun making it or driving it or summat, its been someones project and I think it deserves credit.

I mean its not got a silly spoiler or a tarmac fron bumper.
