R_Purple experiences with turbo?

[Todd Young]

Seems to me I've heard Royal Purple mentioned either on TNN PowerBlock
(Car & Driver, Trucks, etc) or else in some American Iron type
magazines, like Hot Rod or 4Wheeling (yes I read a WIDE variety of car
magazines, I like them all).

Can't say as I've heard anything negative.
