Default Turbo Section

I was just wondering whether it would be feasible to have a turbo/blown/N20 section to discuss [you guessed it!] everything turbo/blown/etc and related?

Yeah good idea I wanted to suggest it as well. I think it'll work out.

What do the mods think?

So dansedgli , for someone looking to turbo their car what would you recommend :nutsycuck

Seriously tho, I reckon a forced induction/n20 etc thread would be good too.

Got to agree, I think theres more than enough interest in it to merit a seperate area. I'll ask the admins.

Yep, I would definitely support this. Just one forum for all the power adders, i.e. turbo/blower/n2o/polarizer....

I think there should be one, alot of people adding turbos these days, and having all the info in one section would make it great for doing research.

A power adder one would be good. There should be conditions though. If you ask a question that has already been asked you should be banned.
ie I want a turbo system for $2000, what should I buy? Where can I get a kit from? :

Not the best way to guage interest, a search for idiot turns up almost the same results, though that maybe a good forum to move alot of people into!!

Forced Induction/N2O/anthing else you spray into your engine section, is a great idea. And Dan, you can't take away peoples right to be stupid. Its a gift, not a right.

Search: Key Word(s): idiot

Showing results 1 to 25 of 233
Search took 0.20 seconds.

10 pages of idiots! One of my threads is up near the top... I am now fearing Laminge's G-string... :1syellow1

/on topic: Although I probably would not post often in such a section, I would frequently visit it just to read up on things. This is what I have done on other forums, and I suspect many others do the same. So maybe looking at the # of views that section attracts rather than # of posts might accurately reflect the popularity of such a section.

I say yes

The XR6T has created so much attention towards this area abd it seems every man and his dog is doing it; which is a good thing.

Its only going to get bigger a time goes on so it makes sense.

As for people getting annoying PM's; I must say you have to settle your ego down a bit. Ok itcan get frustrating but people are just curious so give them a break.
