In this thrilling episode of Roadkill 2.0, the team sets out to resurrect the legendary Mazarati 2.0 after the heart-wrenching theft of Mazarati 1.0, powered by an Oldsmobile 455 engine. Determined to recapture the glory, they opt for a bold move by outfitting the new ride with a 5.3L V8 engine sourced from a 2006 Impala SS. The plan? To supercharge the beast with twin turbos for an adrenaline-pumping power boost.

Venturing into the realm of turbocharger installation, the team navigates through challenges at Lucky Costa's shop, meticulously setting up the system and explaining the intricate workings of this power-enhancing marvel. Embracing the efficiency of E85 fuel, they forgo the need for an intercooler, showcasing their innovative approach to performance tuning. However, hurdles like Turbo oil return line intricacies and unexpected throttle malfunctions during track testing keep the adrenaline pumping.

As the project unfolds, the team dives into front suspension upgrades and brake parts replacement, showcasing their dedication to perfection. With a Toyota spindle modification and S10 ball joint adaptation, they aim to revolutionize the Mazarati 2.0's handling and agility. Despite setbacks and disappointments on the drag strip, the team's unwavering determination and relentless pursuit of automotive excellence drive them to push the boundaries and overcome every obstacle in their quest for automotive greatness.
