I have been thinking lately. All of you know how dangerous that is. Anyway, the thought process is as follows:
  1. I have a rebuildable S366 laying around.
  2. The responsiveness of the S366 was great but the pressure ratio asked of it was a little much.
  3. I have a working S372.
  4. The Turbonator has a 4" v-band outlet.
  5. They make SX-E turbine housings with v-band inlets
  6. I wonder what I shall eat for lunch today.
Totally random train of thought, right?

I'll tell you the same thing I told ESwift when he got a wild hair up his *** about his truck... DON'T **** WITH IT!!! IT IS RUNNING GREAT AND JUST THE WAY YOU WANT IT!!!

The above statement is only my opinion and I am wrong a lot, so take it for what it is worth with the added cost of inflation...

EPA will probably have it taken down and seize the funds.
