When my Dad & I were Go-Karting back in the sixties he looked seriously at
importing one. I still have the sales brochure & a magazine article on them
somewhere.
A Kart had two hooked up & did an 8 or 9 sec 1/4 mile I think?,.....it had
enough thrust to send the driver in orbit if it was stood on end!.
Turbonique also had a little turbine unit that you could bolt to some
differentials & switch on when extra power was needed.
