nice dig

[Cody Forbes]

Heres my favorite. I had my k26/k27 in my trunk (few weeks before I
installed it) and was showing it to a friend at a car show. Another kid
walked up and said "Hey, is that a _twin_ turbo?". Better yet is about 45
minutes later yet another person asked the same thing! Or another time some
other guy that was talking about my friends Mercades AMG Kompressor saying
"No no, your wrong, it's not supercharged, it's blown!".

Even yesterday a friend of a friend came to me and asked "Hey since you put
that new turbo on your car think I can have you put your old one on my Eagle
Talon?" (for free). I started with no it won't work, not matched properly,
he insisted he wanted one so I told him to do a Eagle Talon Turbo engine
swap from a junkyard. He said thats too much work. These people think you
can just drop in a turbo like a bottle of octane boost and your all done.
After I explained to him about the compression and fueling issues he went on
to say "Ok then can we just put it in the exaust and not connect it to the
intake? I just want the sound.". I nearly just walked away, but instead
informed him of these mufflers you can get that have a fan in them so you
sound like you have a turbo...and they even come with a 5 inch tip! He was
ready to hand me the cash to install one of those pieces of garbage.

Is there a part of the country that doesn't have these stupid ricer boys?
I'm sick of these sons of snowbirds that think they are hot shit just
because thier car goes "wooosh" when they shift, and they can't even begin
to explain how or why it goes wooosh.

> No no no, you neeed to get an airfilter bypass kit and a new  exhaust
filter. And when was the last time you changed your blinker fluid? I assume
you've switched to fully synthetic blinker fluid?

more airflow than standard filter. Fits behind Catalytic converter. You must
have one for each muffler. Please specify pipe diameter before ordering! Not
available in California or on pollution controlled vehicles.

few horsepower. We here at KaleCo have devised a much more efficient and
more intelligent way of doing things. Pick up our air filter bypass kit and
enjoy a nearly a free 15 horse power! Bypass that power-robbing and pesky
air filter today, for much less than one of those "performance" air filters!
Kit comes with everything you need to remove the air filter on most cars.
KaleCo not responsible for mechanical failure after installing bypass kit.
That's a pure coincidence. Kit can be used as many times as desired. Not for
use on domestic cars, or cars using an exhaust tip less than a three inch
diameter.
