Default Turbo customer request....

If mods would please let this stay up for a bit, we would appreciate it.

If you guys have bought some of our turbos and products and would like to be added to our new customer gallery we are working on, shoot us an e-mail with info and pics, dyno charts, timeslips....whatever your heart desires.

Also if you got what it takes to get on the Top Gun list, with one of our units and become the new #1 Top Gun you can claim an easy $500 bucks if you can survive a full year on top . If you can break 1400rwhp you will get $1000. We are limiting this to street cars though.....no full on drag cars. We already have plenty of customers with full drag cars making more then the top spot, but we want this to be a challenge, of power and streetability.

E-mail it to:

sales@turbodiesels.net

I would define the 'street car' vs 'race car' very clear, people have been passionately arguing that forever for free so for 1000.00 I imagine the argument will be getting even bigger

What do you guys define as a street car?

I would imagine a street car is a full titled, insured car you can drive across the country on pump gas, and race fuel if you need to turn the boost up.

I think thats to vague, considering we won't be able to provide proof of being able to drive cross country and running pump gas is as easy as adjusting the boost down to 0 is need be.

you guys should come up with a set of requirements to hold everyone to, and make so that it can indeed be proved.

Current Tags, Insurance is a good start.

I would say title, insurance, no slicks ( not street legal ), stock style suspension, no full tubs, exhaust of some sort, and interior. A/c would be optional. I know a lot of you snow birds don't use it.

well he said HP so that would be a SAE dyno Sheet.

Slicks have nothing to do with it, no way in hell you are going to keep a 1400hp car on the dyno and not spin without them. That and anyone can put stock wheels on a car for a pictures.

No he says sent dyno charts, time slips, pics, whatever your heart desires. I'm not saying slicks are a necessity, just they're not street legal. So how can it be a street car?

He never said legal he just said a street car, the mods it will take to get a car to 1400hp won't be legal either. Only way to get a hp number is A dyno sheet.

Thats why Forced inductions Should Define a Street Car for their Competition. Not leaving it up to us.

I agree with everything except the emissions parts...... since none of us would pass without Cats.

I agree, the emission thing would kill any California car since we cant pass with anything that isn't oem.

i think the catch is they have to have been a Forced induction customer, i also think you have to hold the top sport with 1400 hp to win, not just everyone who makes 1400hp will get it.
