Hi,
I was gunning around the other night with my girlfriend as passenger. Opened the \'R\' up down a straight, first turbo lifts the front nicely, second turbo forces your innerds onto the backseat (probably) when the girlfriend shouts "urgh! that turbo stinks of dog food!"... :confused:
Should all turbos smell that bad when being used \'properly\'? If so, why cant it smell like the green stuff or something like that!?! ;)

the turbos get really hot - maybe a horse fell into the engine bay and is slowly cooking at full boost....do you have a dog.

Hi all,
