Oh yeah.

Dude my BOV went woosh what can I say.
What is that though a water pump housing of some sort? Seem a bit too big for a turbo on anything afordable locally.
Who’s milling that anyway?

1. There’s alot more big money around here than you think.
2. I highly doubt that could fit into any car.
3. A welding mask alone is large in proportion to an engine bay.

OMG thank you for correcting me. Where would I be without you.
Obviously I dont believe for a second that something like that would fit in a car. Specially not a summit of witch that assembly is pretty much the size of.
AlsoThink about your statement number 1. and rationalize your answer for the following question. How big do you think a motor would have to be to handle and provide power for a turbo of that size? Now think about what possible reason this part of NY would have for something of those gargantuan proportions. Power plant power source maybe? Sure but than what about the environment? dont he have windmills and a sweet waterfall for that?
Just saying bro. Dont bite on every bit of sarcasm and stupidity that people throw on here.

Nah. Im not that retarded:D. Would be pretty sweet to see that bolted up to something that goes vroom though. Though me thinks its probably a water pump in the making.
Than again this in something wheeled or tracked would also be pretty damn bad ass

Its Just one part to an incredibly large and complex industrial Centrifugal Compressor system.

I was gonna say; gotta be something for Cooper/Cameron Compressors; looks just like one of their scroll housings for their multistage compressors.

Motors are electric, now an engine on the other hand would be sweet.

Turbo cruise ship? I don’t think the rpm’s would be high enough to reach the efficiency of a turbo would it? Would the pure volume of exhaust being pushed, with proper blade design allow a build up of pressure above ATM?
hummm
