Found this on a PT site and though id share it. some of them are funny and can relate, some of them are stupid, but the last 4 are too funny. 1. you have more boost at part throttle than most see from a spike 2. you get defensive when someone calls your turbo small 3. you've got an exhaust big enough to support a 50 trim 4. you don't understand what this "turbo lag" is that everyone talks about 5. You get the Taco Bell Chihuahua attitude when running against big turbo cars. 6. You're thinking of adding "just one more mod to make it run just like a big turbo." 7. SRT4's and WRX's respond at the end of the race "really? stock turbo? no shit......" 8. You're thinking that if I just time this part throttle boost spike at the 60' mark, I should nail that xx.xx time (or x.xx time in the 1/8th). 9. You keep saying, there has to be a way to hold more boost to redline.. 10. you need to run dr's on the street to have a chance to hook up with a turbo that is at full spool at 2000 11. Your tire dealer keeps telling you that there is no mileage warranty on the slicks that you run even if they are the only thing that does hook up on that 2k spool on the street. 12. You have five spare cores at you house just in case your stock turbo clusters. 13. 91 stoped being an option a long time ago. 14. You watch KR more than the speedometer. 15. no one gets to drive the "beast" until they are fully briefed on the systems and told how to drive it properly 16. 100 Street Octane gas is considered "tolerable swill" until you can put more of the "right stuff" in. 17. You go on the Crew and look for new hardpipes. You call AMX and ask for 5" pipes. He reminds you that this is only a stock turbo. You tell him that yours is different. You get them and find out that you gotta move that battery and make major changes besides moving that freakin' battery. You call AMX and he tells you: amx1397 wrote: Oh well.! 18) You call 3rd gear your traction control (after spinning threw 1st and second) 19) you have to start in 2nd gear to get going from a dead stop if is raining 20) If the roads are still wet part throttle is still too much, good luck getting anywhere at WOT 21. One of your friends with a custome turbo car looks at your factory turbo and says "THIS IS IT!" 22. Your posting in this thread. 23. You have an PT automatic trans that hasn't self-destructed yet! (blown up 3 200r4's in my TR. New pro built one is holding great. And yeah, its got a turbo thats considered big by PT standards...lol) 24. You upgrade to MSD 50#er injectors, only to have the tuner tell you your stock injectors weren't even close to maxing out yet.. 25. you've spent more money getting every hp you can out of the stocker, trying for better flow and more top end, as you would have for a big turbo 26. you push your turbo past it's efficiency instead simply getting a larger turbo because you tell yourself... it's the stocker, it's more reliable, and less is bound to go wrong with it... 27. You've got no power, your oil light is on, there's clouds of blue smoke coming out of your tailpipe and a crowd is standing around your car in the pits saying "It looks like you maxed out your turbo". 28). 3k rpm hits and all of a sudden that lovely whistle is replaced by either silence(extremely rare) or a harsh grinding sound-followed quickly by very large drop off in power. 29) You have a three day weekend and decide to do some tunin'. So you go to the garage, grab the wrenches, turn around and your car is hiding next door, behind the shrubs! 30) You find a note on your bathroom mirror: "For the LOVE OF GOD! NO MOOOOORE! (signed) your luvin' turbo 31. A large delivery truck shows up at your house to deliver a heart/lung machine. When you ask the driver who this was billed to he states "Your loving maxed out turbo." 32: When going to tune, your car looks at you as if to say "It puts the lotion on the skin..."
