We are big fans of the Garrett Turbochargers. Over the years they continue to offer a great product with great value. Reliability is very important to us when it comes to the products we sell and use and the Garrett Turbo Product line are some of the most reliable turbochargers on the market. This excerpt is taken from the www.TurbobyGarrett.com website -- they are a wealth of information and we will do what we can to get the knowledge to our customers. http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/basic How a Turbo System Works Engine power is proportional to the amount of air and fuel that...

We had our recently completed Integra RS project out to the drag strip last Friday night at the Orlando Speedworld Dragway for some initial testing. We decided to put some MT 22" x 8" x 15" ET Drag Slicks on it since they are a similar size to the street tires that we are running so we can avoid changing the ride height for the various racing activities we want to be able to enjoy with the car.

Over this past weekend I was reading S3 magazine. I think this was actually one of the first times that I actually sat down and read this particular magazine cover to cover and it was quite enjoyable. I did get to one part that irked me a good bit, Skunk2's new ad for their Billet Vtec Solenoid. The ad's text goes into a tangent on how Skunk2's products continue to get knocked off, copied, etc, etc. Blasting these so called "copycat" companies and trying to set Skunk2 up on a pedestal. In the past I thought this was good marketing...
