Default Turbo Ls?

Found this video on youtube..

Does this mean theres 2-3 turbo ls430's running around now? Any chance they're on this forum?

edit:

found more info on his setup..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Df6C...c&feature=plcp

"Its a holset Turbo. Off a diesel Cummings. 17lbs. Front mounted. I had 235hp and 258ft/lb tourque stock, now I have 376hp and 402ft/lb. Lol its a blast."

Whats up with his 1st to 2nd shift..? is that his tranny going? I've heard the ls430's 5spd's give out around 400hp?

Okay, I don't know if the person gunned the gas or not, but that's not much improvement, if anything on acceleration. Seems a waste to me, adding something for not much gain in real performance.

I've heard there are a few turbo LS' out in Houston Texas. I've never seen them personally though.

The trashy music was enough of a turn-off to even want to watch that first useless video.
The second video wasn't very impressive either.
