Turbo?!?!?

First of all, why on earth do you need that? Do you really get up to speeds or a high enough rpm where it will actually kick in?

Just get NOS, cheap and easy burst of power.

i hit 130 in my parents car and raced my friends in small stretches of road, it was fun, I dont want to not be able to do that lul.

previous car was my parents and was a Volvo s60 turbo'd....i miss the power, but this car i have now is mine so =P

whats NOS? Never heard of it?

I doubt my cars piping can take it anyway, a turbos boost if u untighten the knob already is amazing and has a chance of it if you go to far.

What car you turning into carbage. And seriously, racing on the streets isnt cool. You're just a wanker if you race on the streets.

you can't talk if you havent done it before, its really fun and gives an adrenaline rush that you've never had, its bigger than the one i got when I went skydiving the first time.

As much as u wish you were in the Fast and the Furious ur not tongue.gif would be funny if u got banned the adrenaline rush wouldn't be so big then eh?

But in all honesty why bother, you don't need a turbo and hitting 130 doesn't make you hard lol, just makes you a idiot for risking ur license for nothing.

NOS is Nitrous Oxide. It's a gas that you inject into your air intake. What it does is it allows you to get more out of the gasoline you put into your cylinders. If you do it right, you can get anywhere from another 50 to 100 HP out of your engine.

My auto shop teacher in high school had a friend that blew the engine on his mustang because he injected some NOS into his engine, then started his engine. Engine sorta went BOOM and that was the end of that.

Street racing will get you your license taken away, a hefty fine and your car impounded or destroyed.

ah well, i doubt my car can take NOS then lol, maybe a nissan gtr or something, but not a normal car lol......no ay my piping could take it.

BTW since I haven't really clarified, by street racing, and when I race, its with a group of about 15 different people who go to a pair of cement roads which are perfectly straight, its in the middle of nowhere w/ maybe 1 car an hour driving by(it goes to a dead end after 3 miles or so). I don't just go on the freeway and race someone going 150mph. Going 30mph over is an auto felony and a $400 ticket......if I got pulled over, i would be auto jailed and have about a $600 ticket, but know body uses the road so its all good.

Do you not endanger yourself, or other cars or pedestrians when you do reckless driving?

Its myself, I am personally fine w/ dying young, I really would hate to live to be 100 and using a respirator and having to be a burden for my children.

No way I would hit a pedestrian b/c I don't drive in areas where people walk around at 11:30 at night and no one is on the road that late either, not until like 1ish do the roads fill back up.
