Thanks guys, You identified a really critical problem. I had my gas flows reversed. No wonder I've been getting all those backfires, stalls, and flames shooting out of the catalytic converter. So I'm going to reroute the piping there.
Now, can anyone help me find the vendor of the highest octane orange air? I'll probably need two tanks to get started.
@Skunky: Never heard that variation on the joke before, and now I can't stop laughing. Great, I have an appointment in 6 minutes that I have to calm down for.

@Deartháir aka Prawo Jazdy: Who knows, it may end up working to your advantage; you'll probably be the first person a banker has seen in about a year that has a smile on their face.
I sure do like my turbo: big power when you put your foot down (well, just a little after...), and crazy good fuel economy when you can resist. And it makes some nice sounds, too.
And here I thought the turbo was shaped like that to keep the special speedy snails from escaping.
@mytdawg: Ah, that's a personal favorite. Also works great on thickheads from marketing that don't realize that a 1 HP fan motor is not the same as a 3 HP pump motor.

@Jo Schmo, Pauljones evil and opposite twin: Stickers work by covering the rough, air-grabbing surface of your rusted out civic with a smooth, slippery to the air surface to reduce drag and increase aerodynamic efficiency. Air holes compress the air inside the engine compartment (more air goes in than out), turning the whole engine bay into a low-PSI turbocharger. Way more efficient than bolting shit to the engine like the crazy shit posted above.
@Foozy Ploosh Room: Yeah, its an oldy but a goody. Its still the first thing I think of when I hear turbocharger. I remember reading that dude's story and thinking he could just buy a fridge, but this is so much more awesome!
@Deartháir aka Prawo Jazdy: Hey work with us -- we've got half the guys out today. The other half, like me, are jet-lagged. Cut us some slack. It's for your benefit.
