DIY ebay turbo kit on the 350, it hung where the muffler would be, it predictable exploded at 140mph down the back stretch of Sebring making new ventilation holes thru the oil pan with extra connecting rod bits.
The screw up being when i rebuilt the motor I installed the oil rings wrong which made a spyhunter type oil cloud behind the car so i could outrun my enemies...

got really good at pulling the entire engine/ trans assembly as a unit when i replaced the oil rings the second time

Still got $4500 in trade for a 10.5 year old Z with a DIY big brake kit

Bonus story: loosening tire straps on a front wheel tow dolly and watched my car (1984 Alfa Romeo GTV6) roll down a medium hill, backwards, 100+ feet cross a fairly busy road ( failing to stop at the sign) and come safelyto a stop in some pricker bushes with no damage (before YouTube, thankfully)
