C'mon Charles , let's not get hypersensitive here .
I was talking of my own personal experiences and observations which havenot
included any V6 or V8 turbo vehicles . They were either small 4-cylinders
or large straight six diesels such as one would find in Over The Road
trucks .
And no , what I am saying does not put a bad rap on Turbo cars , I love
turbo cars , and even the ones that leak oil , THE SMALL 4-CYLINDER ONES OR
THE LARGE DIESEL ONES THAT I HAVE PERSONALLY SEEN , still operate as they
should and run very reliably . It's just that THE ONES I HAVE SEEN have had
a tendancy to do this after several thousand miles eventually .
PEACE
BTW- I think the "Peoples Turbo Front of Judea" is after my ass now !!
