i want to see what a turbo would happen to a prius...

i know there's a lot of arguement why its pretty worthless to do so but i want to see for myself...

goign to add intercooler + turbo and exhaust

imo, if the gas engine starts earlier say around 15 miles per hour, the turbo would be able to spool in time and the electric engine takes over for the first 0-30mph

of course.. we'll have to see if it will work.. since someone said that the prius' engine creates less exhaust for the turbo to use

what really suprised me is how much room in the engine bay the prius appears to have...

A Prius a day keeps the doctor away!
