Turbo in the Winter?

[bcjammerx]

who says you can't drive a turbo car in the winter? Not ALL the roads are iced/snowed over

Yeah I definitely don't have enough cash for 2 cars, I'm only 17.
I guess I just get some wire to protect the intercooler from any dirt.

sorry to tell you this...but schools don't teach you shit...I know first hand...they give you some very FEW basics...but it's mostly take part A off...put new part A on...and that's it. Was really let down by my engine rebuilding class...all we did was take it apart...plastigauge...then put it back together...we passed if the engine could be turned over by hand...as if that meant it was done right

I feel bad for you then man, B/c my school goes very "In Depth" about all means of forced induction. When I get to where I'm going I'll start out as a master mechanic/tech...We went over forced induction for at least 2 months...building turbo and sc cars, driving them....we dont just take a motor apart and rebuild it, we go over every bolt, what it does and how it does its job.

Thats fine and dandy that your school does that, the school i went to did the same. But when it comes to being in the real world and working on customer cars its a whole nother world being a master mechanic. A master tech, even if he has the label of being a master tech, is not one until he has at least minimum 5 years experience. Knowing the theory behind a motor or even a wrench for that matter doesnt mean you know how to fix it or build it, every single car is different.
