What page did the fins go through the block and out the hood? I don't feel like reading through 46 pages.

OMFG!
Well, on the bright side, now he can go buy a new turbo to reduce lag...
(guess they never studied turbomachinery & vibration, or really had a clue as to fluid-flow either...)

What's amazing is that the idiots at Mazda didn't think of doing that to start out with. Yep, this is how it should've come out of the factory.

Or a clue how to weld. Looks like it could be solder and that would not surprise me one bit. No, sir.

what exactly makes mazda engineers idiots. last time i checked there were more mazda's at each track event then i can count... don't forget the formula mazda cars, and the mazda factory cars...
i mean this guy is clearly bored and a bit off his rocker... but mazda?
The same could easily be said for rover/bmw in a few cases.

I prefer the subsequent improvement providing decreased lag:

With the turbo spooling with less lag, all that needs to be done now is mount the flux capacitor and tune the NOS to run 9s.
