Ever needed that extra bit of oomph?

Ever felt your Brigs & Stratton-powered mower or rotavator needed an extra bit of pep?
Well worry no more folks, check out this turbocharged and fuel injected model on Youtube!
Some peopel have waaaaaaay too much time on their hands :shock:

It might be more convincing if it was actually ploughing or rotavating. It doesn't seem to keep running very well.

Turbos are only good for the higher rpm, at idle they put practally no added power out. I bet though without internal mods that engine didn't last long.
Garden tractor pulling and drag racing are popular here in the states and you can now buy high performance parts for Kohler engines, for some reason the pros stay away from Briggs.
