Default Turbo School?

I have always liked teaching what I know to race teams and other performance enthusiast. I am willing to put together a beginner course and a advanced course for performance turbochargers and street/racing applications.

The beginner class would be 1 day and held at a dyno facility some where around the nation close to the people that sign up.

The advanced class would be 2 days and be at both the dyno facility and the track. It would be hands on and also would cover data logging and turbo system tunning and sizing. We will also go over changing the power curve to fit you needs.

Who would like to sign up for classes?
What level of turbo knowledge are you most interested in?
Do you want to bring your car or turbocharger?

Each class will be custom tailored for the participants that sign up.

There will be some cost associated with the class but I can't cover that on H-T so don't ask on here please. We can cover locations and some of the other details.

For those who are interested please put some info in your post.
I need to know the area you are from and what class or classes you are interested in taking.
Please provide me the level of knowledge you have about turbos on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the highest).

As I find out who is in the classes I will build a program around you to make sure you leave happy and have your questions answered.

If you are a shop and interested in offering your facility for classes please let me know also.

You can always contact me via phone anytime.

I remember you, we talked through the gate. How is your foot? Next time don't use your foot to straighten Jimmy out. ~

I would go to one of these classes near me. I can get about 5 ppl maybe more out here in the Alhambra/San Gabriel area.

I would say that my knowledge about turbo's is about 4.
