My buddy is into industrial tire sales, mining and such, and occasionally gets some interesting opportunities. I’m guessing this could be close to the biggest turbo made. Prolly weighs more than my car. Eat your heart out Choda. ![http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/arrowenterprises/IMG_2114_zps26eb15e4.jpg](http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/arrowenterprises/IMG_2114_zps26eb15e4.jpg) ---

With my company making thermal insulation blankets I’ve seen some big compressors. Edit: Last unit I make covers for had 4 compressors on it. They where gear driven but it was a compound system. Each outlet went into the inlet of the next blower. Its used to move natural gas up in the arctic.
