I did also look under the hood but didnt really try to locate the turbo, I was so impressed with the way it drove I had nothing to question. You dont question something that you thought you knew to be a fact. I also see a guy drive by my work everday that has definately got a turbo on his because it whines and whoohes when he shifts. I just assumed he made it louder. I am still in shock

Don't let anyone here get to you. It's a pretty good group of people overall. This is just your welcome to the forum hazing to see how well you fit in!

Errr.... i was just trying to be misleading and sarcastic at the same time...

I thought he looked like that b/c of the constant action from behind we've seen for years. Just get out of prison possibly? Maybe banana even misses it a little.

Rule #1: NEVER trust a car salesman. Do your own research.

The funniest part is that you actually trust the carsalesman ....

You cant even tell if a car has turbo or not ... wheres the boost gauge ?
