reckon they all spool up at once? u kno wat would be cool....8 turbos ranging from like t3 up to t88 hd in size, the smaller ones coming on earlier and hiding the lag from the bigger ones haha

I like how the exhaust manifolds just glowed red after about 20 seconds of the engine dyno vid.. If you drive it for 5 minutes on the road does the whole car melt?

its a good idea, 1 turbo per cylinder, duz it hav 8 carbies and 8 pods? it'd be good for efficiency but way too messy and waste of room

i recon its a mad idea, the guy obviously wanted to be different, he should strengthen the engine and see if he can make 20 psi, and put 3 or 1 big intercooler on the front, say 180cm x 80cm x 10cm , 8 blow off valves, wastegates, ah the dreams of money Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I think the amount of power it puts out is crap. 730hp from a oct (8) turbo v8? Thats less than 100hp per cylinder! Cmon! Theres VLs out there with 1 turbo, 6 cylinders and making some 800hp! It looks the sh!t - All show and no go. I like the ideas of wastegates and a big F**K OFF Cooler! yea yea then we would be talkin power! And more boost for sure!
