umm, there are already turbos on the supra engine, look at other kits like, 300 zx TT, and dodge stealth

Just use some styrene tube. Heat a small tube up and bend it around a bigger one, fill in the gaps, voila, turbo. I'd show pics but my webcam is shit so you won't see anything clearly. I'll give it a shot though, a bit later.

Toksin · #6 03-15-2003, 09:54 PM

Why not? You have the parts sprues that your model kits come attached to. Just heat that and stretch to the desired diameter (Parts trees are usually too thick) and then reheat til you're able to bend to the shape of a snail's shell.

tea candles work best, put in the match taht u use to light it and it works better!
