Whats up guys I just purchased a Toyota Prius. It is one of those bom azz hybrid gas electrics. I was looking at getting a rubberband turbo setup that would wind up the turbo on decelleration and unload when the gas motor kicked in. I don't think they make a kit but could you put oe together for me?

The motor would probably explode the moment boost hit it.
However, www.vfaq.com has a section on the prius now.

Maybe the Kinght Engineering electric superchanger would be a better application.

maybe a better idea would be to get a real car, and a brain..... ?

lol..
newbs... Thanks for defending us StealthGST, but he is just joking around.
Are you going to stop by now that you are in town? Check the place out?
We are leaving today early (6pm) but will be around this week/next week late obviously, except for the holiday/weekend.
Give the shop a call.

We talk to matt from time to time, heck you could probably drop it here for him and we could hold it for him. Otherwise he is living in St. Louis park? (hey d, chime in here)/Golden Valley area.
