Before anyone spouts anymore BS about Turbochargers...

My dad made me read that whole site pretty much before I even thought about buying turbo parts for my car(I was 17 when I first wanted to start building a fast car). It is a great source, that has been around for ever, its funny how so many poeple have never seen it before........

This probably has nothing to do with this post. But after reading everything, and it being 4am on the east coast right now, I love how you ask some people what size turbo they have (mostly ricers) and they simply blurt out "T3/T4". They obviously dont know trim or a/r of the turbo, or what a T3/T4 really is. and when you look under the hood they're just running like a 20 trim T 1/4 with pvc pipe running to the intercooler and a RFL bov mounted on the valve cover. cause theyre awesome.
on a side note, corky bell has filled my head with a lot of useless information, like calculating engine displacement by bore and stroke. what BSFC is, reading compressor maps, calculating max horsepower which injectors can handle. honestly, i read alot of his books and studied them. I dont need to know this shit, but i do. Doesnt get the ladies though. thats one thing corky bell cannot write about....getting ladies.

You never know...he may be a total master at getting ladies...

Glad you bumped this thread though. This should be reading for all the newbies I have seen who have joined the forum in the last couple of years.
