That's an amazing feat for a 4cyl that was never factory turbo'ed!

I don't want to be anywhere near that thing when something gets sucked into the turbo or the engine grenades...

Insane!

What's impressive is that this is done on a B-series, so even if it's bored/stroked, the displacement is still around 2.1L. That's a lot of power for a small engine to handle.
