Turbo'd Fit
 
Thought I'd share this video of a turboed GE8 A/T in taiwan. Anyone have any info on this??

YouTube - HONDA FIT 1.5 AT TURBO ?? ?? 1.5 ?? ?? 0.5bar

Sounds like a normal fit using paddle shifters with altered exaust.Filming in a car adds speed because speed of film is different that your eyes and brain processing. Old Hollywood trick to make you think it is fast. Filmed at night give the higher illusion of speed. Exaust extra noise gives an illusion of speed also. Shift points sound as far apart as stock, would be quicker to be obtained if a turbo. Show me the tach,and speedo and outside then I would believe it. If he was proud of it you would think he would show a daylight view of his handiwork,then the rest of the video. Looks fake in my book. Don't doubt there is something out there,but real speed shown not really impressive.

what kind of turn was made in the beginning ? looks tighter than what our fits do.

which side of the road do they drive on over there? seems like this guy was all over the place in daylight.

these guys suck at driving at night... at least take a line.
