How many of us know where the turbo is in our car? lmfao....Last week, I have this pal of mine who OWNS a turbo charged car of his own but when he looked under my hood he mistook the intake manifold for my turbo. I honestly almost shit my pants i thought he was joking, but no, coming from a guy who owns a turbo charged car aswell....

Do you know where YOUR turbo is? :icon_surp

That's as bad as when I was looking to buy my 82 Supra.

I was interested in one at a dealership, and after opening the hood, and checking out the oil, belts and a few other things, the guy goes... "Yep, these Toyota V6's are some of the best..."

I just looked at him and asked, V6?.....

He goes, "Yep, see each side here...." and then proceeds to point to the cam boxes on the 5MGE engine...

I tried to nicely explain that he was mistaken, that there were no V6 Supra's, and then jokingly said "Yep, just like the V6's in the 325i over there" and the guy agreed with me..!

The sad truth is Toyota has gone V6 now on everything, and it appears only the blue propeller boys get to keep the I6 engines. (Unless you want to drive a trailblazer, an excellent motor stuck in a POS vehicle.)

I belive Ford has some in the Jaguar parts bin, and they use a I6 down under with a turbo IIRC.

Oh c'mon now you guys, MkIII Supra's don't have turbo's! An Evo guy at the multi-forum meet ask me, "what is that, an NA?":stickpoke I replied (non-chalantly) "No". They gazed on, as if to say...Yeah, right!:wuteva: So...when I departed, I let them know, I was indeed packing a "power adder":naughty: underneath me hood. Thanks to the DDP,:bigthumb: it is real apparent at 6000rpm!!!:evil2: Fun to see all their heads snap around so fast!!:thefinger :biglaugh:
