If it was a ride-on mower, sure. But a push mower? WTF is he gonna cut with it?
Same if it was a whipper snipper, that'd be ok to get more power out of.
Needs some hose clamps on the intercooler piping too.

Don't know how good that the front mount is going to work (not much air speed).
But, I suppose that you could mow flat out with it haha

Yeh.
No pressure lines on the wategate actuator.
The engine doesnt have an oil-pump, so no oil for the turbo.
No water cooling for the turbo.
Funny to see tho.

at least it would be real easy to lower. And just as easy to raise so you can get it past an inspection
Would look shmick with some 17mm wheels on it

Cool, just need to make up some reverse pitch blades and you could go into hover mode at 10psi.

Yep thats right - thats my housemate's dad's lawnmower
My other housemate decided it would be funny (and being bored) he took that intercooler, air filter, turbo etc outside and sat it all into place (the turbo and most other stuff got zip tied together)
I was done for laugh value
There were also pictures taken with 4A-GE Cam covers and gears sitting on top of the mower. But it looked a bit overdone. I am quite surprised to see that picture doing the rounds... Its being hosted on pulsar.org (maybe they did a search on "pullstart" instead of pulsar 
Craig, I think that you will also find that "Knob" is the spelling that you were after and I didn't know that you knew Twincam16 Shane?

I think that he will be interested to read this thread
I was not aware that he had ripped anyone off, but then again I have only known him for about 6 months.
Infact as far as reliablity (in person) goes, I think he is very helpful. And yes he does know his shit.

Only one way to sort it out - jelly wrestling!
And to keep it in the thread, we'll use the turbo lawnmower to suckup the jelly afterwards.
... I wonder if a kiddy pool with jelly in it was actually put at a beach (slightly away from sand); that two beautiful teenage women in bikinis would see it and decide to have a go.
