With @Barry raising the topic on Turbo installation on his favorite truck, he has got me thinking of getting a Turbo installed in my Nissan Pathfinder 2001 model R50. Recently I have been watching a video breaking the myth of cheap turbo sets found on ebay installed on a vehicle in like 10 minutes and is like a fan only which is added to the intake. This turbo set claims increase of 50 hp on the said vehicle, but does nothing except made a sweet sound. As these guys explained that the turbo or super charge is all about getting compressed air into the engine. I now am more curious to learn about turbo charging a vehicle, in particular my Pathy R50. I used to have a 1991 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSR4 with turbo which was tuned by AMG. This came as a stock factory install and I never had any problem passing the car and it was a lot of fun to drive. Firstly, what all needs to be done to install a turbo, it is not just dropping in a turbo in the engine bay and walla, my car also has a MAF sensor, how does that restrict the turbo from working, or is there a way to adjust it? Does the ECU needs to be reprogrammed? On long run what effect does it have on a wearing old engine which you are trying to keep alive and running? Would I need new headers and exhaust? What kind of realistic minimum gains you can expect? How much would such a setup cost? Is it legal, will I have a problem passing my car in RTA if I do get the turbo installed?

Well guy I have amazing new to share sent by Porsche: Porsche shown a small preview of their all new 911 Turbo and Turbo S, which look stunning, slightly sharper, quicker, and is now slightly more ridiculously expensive as usual. I am not sure about the engine capability but it say on it latest press release that it come up with The 3.8 liter twin-turbo six-cylinder which puts out 20 more horsepower than the outgoing model at 540hp, and the 2017 911 Turbo S is up to 580 hp now with larger turbo and a higher red-line of 7,200 rpm. Which is damn outstanding. Well not just that now this coupe is able to reach 0-100 kmph in just about 2.9 second!! YES IT’S TRUE :):). Welcome to Two second club....! I found info about the 2017 Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S are scheduled to land in showrooms next April in US market. Does anyone have an idea when it’s going to land in Dubai showroom??
