Track slips and dyno sheets that show just how much my turbo gives back.

Or was OP talking about those little dingleberries that people hang on the back of their tow hooks to show off?

If you consider a wideband an "accessory", you're doing it wrong.

adjective - technical
1. Contributing to or aiding an activity or process in a minor way; subsidiary or supplementary
I wouldn't exactly consider something that lets you know if your motor is about to blow up or wash out "minor".

I think a turbo tach would be cool to have. I cant think of any other "accessory" a turbo could have except maybe a polished compressor

I'd say anything related to aiding heat management. Turbo blankey, wrapping, thermal coating.

My only accessory is the red Tial Q on my STi...nothing fancy, but it matches the logo on the intercooler (and it causes my car to backfire since its now a non-recirc bov)

hum.... i'd say

accessory, i don't see any part of my turbo kit as "accessory".... either i feel like i need it or don't.


"accessory" IMHO means non-essentials like a ~cough~ bodykit

I am not sure how it is so funny. It doesn't even sound like a duck call... I guess when you hunt it isn't impressive.

God, I'm really getting close to just leaving and never coming back to this forum. When I think it can't get any worse. It gets worse.

It is not only this forum. Society as a whole is on a downward spiral.
