So after my drive home today I will say that it is officially TURBO SEASON,

you know that time of year when the roads are still dry and grippy and the air temperatures are down enough that our ICs and turbos are very happy.

the time of year when you drive with the windows down and the seat heat on.

that time when you have the windows down and the tunes up.. (or you just listen to that happy spooling whistle)


anyway just wanted to post this up as a place to put your feelings thoughts and pictures of


TURBO SEASON!

I know what Nowhereman means...

It was kind of hot and humid here for a while, but all of the sudden it cooled off a lot in the past few days, and the turbos have really PERKED UP in response.

You mash it, and the cars just grab hold, spool up, and launch. It's awesome. It's turbo season!

It's still f***ing HOT and humid down here! It is NOT Turbo Season in Northern Virginia.

Not yet, anyway. That doesn't come until late September/October.

Enjoy it in NH. We've got a couple weeks yet.

Water/Methanol Injection makes it Turbo Time All The Time. There is no need to wait for cooler weather.

x2! I FINALLY got my install completed after starting it over a year ago. I drove the car last night for the first time with a fresh 50/50 mixture. I agree, feels just like a cool fall morning.

Now if I can only fix my damn clutch issues--buts that's another story...
