turbos

[Stephen Andersen]

I agree with Bruce on this one here.  The reason I am
on this list is that I sold my turbo DSM's to buy a 
used BMW 325is.  I love the Bimmer, as it's build quality,
handling, and brakes are MUCH better than the DSM/Mitsus.

However, I LUST for the feeling that the boost gave
me when it hit.  I am trying to plan out putting 
either a turbo, or possibly a Lysholm type supercharger
on my BMW.

It is an addiction that I cannot begin to explain...
