I know,
Now we should add curb feelers to go with the fuzzy dice and spinner hubs on your car!

That nose makes the LM is the best looking C4 ever.

Is Corey's twin Turbo a knock off of the old Lingenfelter setup?

Besides the tuning, which is tricky, I've never understood what makes these twin turbo setups so expensive.

I know to machine an impeller, a propeller and turbine vanes.
(steel, aluminum, stainless steel, brass and titanium)

Turbo systems have a lot more parts than a supercharger!

Please pardon my ignorance if I'm out of line, but machine an impeller? I doubt if Lingenfelter ever machined any impellers for those setups. I assume you're kidding.
I've never bought a turbo, but as they are becoming a more common installation on many cars, they must be increasing in quality and decreasing in price.
Other than the tuning, where's the magic here. The engineering has been done more than a decade ago. The rest is just fabrication of the plumbing.
