Yesterday I spoke to a guy in CA (626-839-8350), who actually installed a turbo in a 2004 with great success. It boosted the engine power from 75 hp to over 100 hp.
They only modified one Prius and decidied not to go any further. That car is in Japan.
It would have cost around $600.

Good. Hopefully they will blow up their cars which I am sure are already setup relatively lean from the factory and with decent compression and then give the Prius an even worse name so that we dont have to subsidize those things as much and the propective owners will just buy TDis so that this country can start showing the automakers that we LIKE small sporty cars with TQ that get good gas mileage even if they do sound a little different.
I cant wait for people to start realy thinking about what types of matirials go into those battery packs and where those matirials come from. Makes an oil well look like a granola bar.

On a side note... why are we reading a thread started 5 years ago...with a 2-year revival in 2007 and another 2-year revival in 09? What a bunch of dumbfucks.

Holy crap seriously, I ventured into the fuel economy section of that forum and one of the first topics was UNEVEN TIRES
Let's say someone's left front tire is 43psi and the right front is 42psi--that someone being me. Safety concerns aside, what sort of effect could this potentially have on your mileage?
I found my tires to be off by 1-2PSI on each side recently. Obviously I evened them out immediately, but it made me wonder if I could've lost a significant percentage of potential efficiency. Thoughts?
