Turbo Turbine Booty

I'm looking to where I can find a turbo booty like this one or similar? This pic is taken out of Sport Compact Car, Jan '04 issue, page 96 about the single turbo Supra.

Yes, I have done searching on the 'net and haven't found anything close yet. Thanks for the help.

Yes, but if you have booty in the subject line, people are much more interested

Thanks for the help.

I agree that its expensive, but at the same time it looks to be very well made compared to other types out there!

Booty is a guranteed hit. I mean, who wouldnt want to click a post with the words "turbo" and "booty" in them?

i've heard stories of these things leading to cracked exhaust housings, due to the excess heat. I can't personally confirm this but it might be worth keeping in mind.

I've heard stories of that as well, but every time that I tried to confirm it there was no real proof. Just a bunch of talk saying one thing and not being able to back it up. However, some of the "big time" single guys in the Supra, Skyline, and 7 world use them. There must be something to it. I just personally don't like the look of it and would be willing to sacrifice a little heat to keep from opening my hood and seeing a "turbine diaper." Great term by the way.
