You know, if you boost the weedwacker, it will probably be able to spool the turbo quicker, and make more boost for your car's engine.

I'd sure like to see how you did that. So would my buddy, since he has access to tubing & a welder. Your guidelines of experience would be quite helpful in avoiding a mistake.

The early LN2 used a steel (not cast) manifold. Cut off and block off the outlet, cut a new hole on the face and add a T3 flange. DSM BOV and piping section, some large radiator hoses and misc intake piping from random cars can make up charge piping. Grab some random exhaust sections and flanges for a downpipe, throw in a T and vacuum hose for WG/BOV, some fuel line and fittings for oil/water lines, and you're done. Everything can be had from a junkyard if you spend some time looking. Only real non-junkyard expense would be new seals for the turbo

I am seriously gonna try this, It sounds like a decent Idea to me.

I was at my mom's house just the other day (I also live there...), and I was making myself a badass protein shake and it hit me! What if I use the motor from the blender to boost a weedwhacker? Now I figured it out and I'm going to need atleast 500watt blender to make this work. I'm going to go out to my dad's garage and hook up a bunch of blenders to see which one looks to be spinning fastest. Only problem is this thing will be so powerful I won't be able to put it to good use.

Anybody know of something I can do with a super powerful boosted weedwhacker?

Stick your finger in the blender that's spinning the fastest. Then tell us how it went.. lol

Ok now MacGuyver... Why dont you just put some cardboard wings on it and make it a weed whacker turboed car plane.
