Tri-turbo

I dunno if anyone caught this but check it out. Rob Johnson's tri-turbo made by intense motorsport:

I'm just not a fan of chameleon paint.

3 turbos @ 650bhp.. thats weak...
1 large turbo puts more power then 3 dinky turbo..
unless those 3 turbos were t88

but that motor still doesnt have enough power to push 2 large turbo..
so 1 large single turbo is perfect..

his paint is fine.. his rear wing and body kit.. ew...

That guy and the shop get hella props. that is one of the sickest supras i have seen. First tri turbo I've heard of in ANY car. the new bugatti I believe is quad turbo tough. You can't really complain about how the 3 turbos are ONLY putting down 650 hp

because this was the first ever of its kind and with each new turbo comes new masses of piping, lines etc. so they gotta be small. Job well done to these guys, and can't wait to see that thing at the next big show.

That's only for show..

I mean he gets points for being innovative...but compared to a single or twin turbo, it's just not as efficient but I gotta admit, the set-up is nice!

not sure what 2 say, 4 show is looks great but 4 power reasons, why? if one big turbo will give u more why do 3 little ones, isn't more room 4 a problem later on?
