What began as a normal afternoon debugging a problem with his 1JZ swapped turbo Supra, became anything but, very quickly.
Mark Hoey was having some teething issues with his engine swap and new turbo set up, when he decided to tinker around under the hood.
He stated that the issues subsided suddenly, and quickly enough to suck his unsuspecting hand into the turbo, grinding off part of his middle finger, even the bone!
So there we have it kids, turbos are in fact dangerous to your health!

this really sucks, but on the plus side, he has an excuse to do this for the rest of his life.
To the fucking top you go mate!
Was the turbo okay??
I hope so, might have to remove it and clean it, don't want bits of finger flying in the motor.
First response.
That's awful!! Why did he swap a 2JZ for an older 1JZ???
Hope the 2jz engine is okay :O
imagine the damage that finger tip could do to the valves etc
Not much, valves are a lot more solid than bits of finger.
Not sure how well the finely-tuned turbo bits would hold up though
I have got to give him this he was surprisingly calm for a person who go his finger chopped off
It's called shock.. :)
