With all that piping that thing is probably 1 helluva laggy beast. Wow factor is definately up there, but I doubt the drivability is anywhere near streetable.

ooooh, I smell the lambo haters-lovers thread hijackers coming on!!! LMAO
That is definitely a terrific car. Not that I would do it though (Lambo means NA V-12 to me) ... but that still is awesome! Would love to see it take off with 1300hp ... holy crap!!! LMAO

Ummm... actually Harry would know. His good friend and neighbor is a HUGE Lamborghini collector.

Unlike most Lambo owners, he goes out and drives the **** out of them,

Come on allan, it takes common sense to figure this out. You call in "hi, I own a lamborghini diablo and was wondering what information you could give me on your twinturbo kit" they're going to feed you any line they have to to get you to dump 40 grand and buy the kit. Any good salesman is going to do that.

Just look at the location of the turbos in relation to the exhaust ports. Creating plumbing for that all the way back to the turbine side of the turbo is going to make the gasses in the manifold cool down quite a bit. And as we all know, it's the heat energy that produces positive boost, not the velocity of the gases.

Streetable is very subjective and everybody will have a different take on this. Personally I feel that a stock Lamborghini Diablo is on the verge of being unstreetable, adding boost just puts it over the edge. I know you shoot NOS every day in yours and haven't had a problem, to each their own.

Ive actually researched it farther and spoken to the owner of a TT Diablo, and people who have driven them with nothing to gain, who also verified this info.

As for the Diablo being unstreetable, id like to know why you feel that way. It is a very easy car to drive. easier to drive then my 355. My wife even drives it.
