00:37:08,002 So today, we're putting our compound turbos on the Li'l Red Express. 911 00:37:08,002 --> 00:37:11,700 So today, we're putting our compound turbos on the Li'l Red Express. 912 00:37:13,166 --> 00:37:16,266 So, our compound turbo setup is two turbos 913 00:37:16,266 --> 00:37:19,000 but it's not like your typical twin turbos setup 914 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,900 where they're both the same size. 915 00:37:20,967 --> 00:37:24,867 Compound turbo setup has a small turbo and a big turbo. 916 00:37:24,867 --> 00:37:26,367 So, this is our high pressure turbo. 917 00:37:26,367 --> 00:37:28,767 This is the turbo that starts to spool first 918 00:37:28,767 --> 00:37:31,867 air comes out of the exhaust side, drives it through here, 919 00:37:32,467 --> 00:37:34,000 and spools this turbo up. 920 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:35,266 This is big daddy. 921 00:37:35,266 --> 00:37:37,800 This one here is gonna make all the horsepower 922 00:37:37,867 -->

00:37:41,467 --> 00:37:42,900 it would be really slow to spool. 926 00:37:42,967 --> 00:37:44,400 It would have terrible street manner. 927 00:37:44,467 --> 00:37:46,500 It would be smokey, lazy 928 00:37:46,567 --> 00:37:48,367 but when you combine the two together 929 00:37:48,367 --> 00:37:49,567 that's when the magic happens. 930 00:37:49,567 --> 00:37:51,867 That's when you have a real quick spooling setup... 931 00:37:51,867 --> 00:37:53,100 drivable... 932 00:37:53,100 --> 00:37:54,500 and super, super torquey. 933 00:37:54,567 --> 00:37:55,634 They're just a lot of fun to drive. 934

00:38:35,000 The sound this thing makes is insane 952 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,166 and when it turns 6000 rpms there is nothing like it. 953 00:38:39,300 --> 00:38:41,367 And the crazy thing is it
