“With no oil in the turbos.” That is the condition in which the creator who posts as @c6kid fires up his V10 Audi R8 after fitting what he calls “Amazon’s cheapest turbos.” About a minute later he is pointing at the back of the car and saying, “There’s already metal shards all in the exhaust.”

The clip, posted October 1, 2026, is a fast recap of the build and its first drive. “They weren’t going on my old Chevy,” he says of the turbos, “instead on my V10 supercar.” It opens on a shopping page of turbo listings, then cuts to the black R8 parked in a wooded driveway.

He is blunt about the workmanship. “The quality of the fabrication definitely matched the quality of the turbo,” he says, over footage of a wrench on a turbo housing. The R8’s rear bumper is off, and he holds a turbo up to the open back of the car beside the exhaust piping. In the finished setup one turbo hangs below each tail light.

“Once it was complete, it was actually a pretty promising looking bolt on twin turbo kit for my Audi R8,” he says. He puts the labor at “maybe an hour of my time” and describes the result as “something the internet has never seen.”

He does not pretend it is a finished product. “At the end of the day, this is an experiment,” he says, before promising viewers they will hear what it sounds like. The car is moved before the first start. “We had to push it down the driveway because we didn’t know if this was gonna last 30 seconds or 30 minutes,” he explains, and the footage shows the bumperless R8 rolling away down a tree lined drive.

The engine fires and the hardware holds. “The twin turbo setup survived the cold start, but now we have to try to build boost,” he says, and the car is shown driving along a road past a lawn. Back in the driveway he argues that with proper oiling a setup like this could pass for a twin turbo kit, and tells the camera, “You can’t tell me that’s not a twin turbo R8.”

The last few seconds change the tone. “Did you just hear that, bro?” he asks, then points at the exhaust and reports the metal shards. The clip ends there, with no look at the turbos themselves and no word on the engine.

For an owner tempted by a cheap universal turbo, the one thing he skipped on purpose is the thing to sort out first. His own phrase for what is missing is “oiled properly.” Before a turbo is ever spun, plumb an oil feed line and a drain line to it, and confirm oil is reaching it before the first start.

Copy his caution on the first start. He moved the car down the driveway by hand before turning the key because he did not know how long the parts would last. Do the same with any untested setup: get it clear of the garage and other cars, and have someone watching the back of the car.

Stop at the first new noise, as he does, and look at the exhaust outlet before driving another foot. Metal there means the turbo comes off and gets inspected before the engine runs again. He also says the fabrication matched the turbos for quality, so have the welds and flanges on a home built kit checked for leaks before asking it to make boost, and keep the bumper and any original exhaust parts so the car can go back to stock.
