  On the "make a jet engine from your truck turbocharger" web site 
(or something like that).  He mentions a lot about "mach diamonds" 
out the back.  I never finished reading through the whole site before 
that computer got "updated" and I lost the link.  (same with the 
turbocharged bar stool).  It read like more was better and he'd worked 
things up from 1 1/2 to 7 of them.  The site has/had .wavs of spooling 
up and running.  Pretty cool.
